In Dulci Jubilo Lyrics

In dulci jubilo (In sweet jubilation)
Now sing with hearts aglow
Our delight and pleasure lies in praesepio (in a manger)
Like sunshine is our treasure matris in gremio (in his mother's lap)
Alpha es et O (Thou art Alpha and Omega)
Alpha es et O (Thou art Alpha and Omega)

O Jesu parvule (O tiny Jesus)
For thee I long alway
Comfort my heart's blindness O puer optime (O best of boys)
With all thy loving kindness O princeps gloriae (O prince of glory)
Trahe me post te (Draw me after thee)
Trahe me post te (Draw me after thee)

O patris caritas (O love of the Father)
O Nati lenitas (O gentleness of the Son)
Deeply were we stained per nostra crimina (through our crimes)
But thou for us hast gained coelorum gaudia (the joys of the heavens)
O that we were there
O that we were there

Ubi sunt gaudia (Where are joys?)
In any place but there
There are angels singing in nova cantica (new songs)
And there the bells are ringing in Regis curia (the court of the King)
O that we were there
O that we were there
