In dulci jubilo, now sing with hearts aglow!
Our delight and pleasure lies in praesepio.
Like sunshine is our treasure matris in gremio.
Alpha es et O! Alpha es et O!
O Jesu, parvule, for thee I long alway;
comfort my heart's blindness, O puer optime,
with all thy lovingkindness, 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 coelorum gaudia. O that we were there! O that we were there!
Ubi sunt gaudia in any place but there? There are angels singing nova cantica, and there the bells are ringing in Regis curia.
O that we were there! O that we were there!
