1. In dulci jubilo Let us our homage shew: Our heart's joy reclineth In praesepio; And like a bright star shineth Matris in gremio, Alpha es et O! 2. O Jesu parvule, My heart is sore for Thee! Hear me, I beseech Thee, O puer optime; My praying let it reach Thee, O princeps gloriae. Trahe me post te. 3. O patris caritas! O Nati lenitas! Deeply were we stained. Per nostra crimina: But Thou for us hast gained Coelorum gaudia, Qualis gloria! 4. Ubi sunt gaudia, If that they be not there? There are Angels singing7 Nova cantica; And there the bells are ringing In Regis curia. O that we were there!
