In Dulci Jubilo 4 Lyrics

1. In dulci jubilo
Now sing with hearts aglow!
Our delight and pleasure
Lies In praesepio;
Like sunshine is our treasure
Matris in gremio,
Alpha es et O!
Alpha es et O!

2. O Jesu parvule,
For thee I long alway;
Comfort in my heart's blindness,
O puer optime;
With all thy loving kindness,
O princeps gloriae.
Trahe me post te.
Trahe me post te.

3. O patris caritas!
O Nati lenitas!
Deeply were we stained
Per nostra crimina:
But Thou for us hast gained
Coelorum gaudia,
O that we were there!

4. Ubi sunt gaudia,
In any place but there?
There are Angels singing
Nova cantica;
And there the bells are ringing
In Regis curia.
O that we were there!
