Lyrics : English Translation :
In dulci jubilo In quiet joy
Let us our homage show
Our heart's joy reclineth
In praesepio In a manger
And like a bright star shineth
Matris in gremio In His mother's lap
Alpha es et O Alpha and the Omega
Alpha es et O Alpha and the Omega
O Jesu parvule Oh tiny Jesus
I yearn for Thee alway
Hear me, I beseech Thee
O puer optime Oh child most excellent
My prayer, let it reach Thee
O Princeps gloriae Oh Prince of glory
Trahe me post te Draw me after Thee
Trahe me post te Draw me after Thee
O Patris caritas Oh love of the Father
O Nati lenitas Oh gentleness of the Son
Deeply were we stained
Per nostra crimina Through our sins
But Thou for us hast gained
Caelorum gaudia The joys of heaven
Oh that we were there
Oh that we were there
Ubi sunt gaudia Where are joys
If that they be not there?
There are angels singing
Nova cantica New songs
There the bells are ringing
In Regis curia In the King's court
Oh that we were there
Oh that we were there
Oh that we were there...
