The words

  1. Verse 1

    In dulci jubilo Let us our homage shew; Our heart's joy recli- neth in praesepio And like a bright star shineth, Matris in gremio. Alpha es et O, Alpha es et O. O Jesu parvule! I yearn for thee alway! 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! O Patris caritas, O Nati le- nitas! Deep were we stained Per nostra crimina; But thou hast for us gained Coelorum gaudia. O that we were O O that we were there! Ubi U bi sunt gaudia, where, where, If they that they be not there? There are angels singing Nova cantica, There There the bells are ring are ring- In Re ing In Regis cu ria: that we were there, O that we were there. There are an- gels singing, There the bells are ring- ing In Re- gis cu- ria: O that we were there, O that we were there!
