In dulci jubilo, now sing with hearts aglow
Our delight and pleasure lies in praesepio
Like sunshine is our treasure Matris in gremio
Alpha est et O, Alpha est et O!
O Jesu parvule, for Thee I long alway
Comfort my hearts blindness, O puer optime
With all thy loving kindness, 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 has gained, Caelorum gaudia
That we were there, O that we were there!
Ubi sunt gaudia, In any place but there
There are angels singing, In Nova Cantica
And there the bells are ringing, In regis curia
O that we were there, O that we were there.
O, that we were there...
