In dulce 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

O Jesu parvule
for thee I long always
Comfort in my hearts’ blindness o puer optime
With all thy loving kindness o princeps gloriae
Trahe me post te trahe me post te

O Patris caritas
o nati lenitas
Deeply were we stained per nostra criminal
But thou for us hast gained coelorum gaudia
O that we were there o that we were there

Ubi sunt gaudia in any place but there
There are angels singing in nova cantica
and there the bells are ringing in Regis curia
O that we were there o that we were there

O that we were there
