1 In dulci jubilo (In quiet joy)
Let us our homage shew;
Our heart’s joy reclineth
In praesepio (In a manger)
And like a bright star shineth,
Matris in gremio, (In the mother's lap)
Alpha es et O. (Thou art Alpha and Omega.)

2 O Jesu parvule, (O tiny Jesus)
I yearn for thee alway,
Hear me, I beseech thee,
O Puer optime! (O best of boys)
My prayer let it reach thee,
O princeps gloriae! (O prince of glory)
Trahe me post te! (Draw me after Thee!)

3 O Patris caritas, (O love of the Father)
O Nati lenitas! (O gentleness of the Son)
Deeply were we stained
Per nostra criminal; (Through our sins)
But thou for us hast gained
Coelorum gaudia. (The joy of heaven.)
O that we were there!

4 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.)
O that we were there!
