IN DULCI JUBILO

  1. In dulci jubilo
    Let us our homage show;
    Our heart’ joy reclineth
    In praesepio,
    And like a bright star shineth
    Matris in grenio;
    Alpha es et O,
    Alpha es et O.
  2. O Jesu parvule,
    My heart is sore for Thee;
    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.
  3. O Patris caritas!
    O Nati lenitas!
    Deeply we were stained
    Per nostra crimina;
    But Thou for us hast gained
    Caelorum gaudia:
    Oh, that we were there!
    Oh, that we were there!
