In Dulci Jublio Lyrics

In dulci jubilo
Let us our homage show
Our heart's joy reclineth
In praesepio
And like a bright star shineth
Matris in gremio
Alpha es et O
Alpha es et O

O Jesu parvule
I yearn for Thee alway
Hear me, I beseech Thee
O puer optime
My prayer, let it reach Thee
O Princeps gloriae
Trahe me post te
Trahe me post te

O Patris caritas
O Nati lenitas
Deeply were we stained
Per nostra crimina
But Thou for us hast gained
Caelorum gaudia
Oh that we were there
Oh that we were there

Ubi sunt gaudia
If that they be not there?
There are angels singing
Nova cantica
There the bells are ringing
In Regis curia
Oh that we were there
Oh that we were there

Oh that we were there...
