In Dulci Jubilo (Arr. Pearsall)

In dulci jubilo
Let us our homage show
Our heart's joy reclineth
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 always
Hear me, I beseech thee
O puer optime
My praying let it reach thee
O princeps gloriae
Trahe me post te
Trahe me post te

O patris caritas (o patris caritas)
O nati lenitas (o nati lenitas)
Deeply were we stained (deep were we stained)
Per nostra crimina (per nostra crimina)
But thou has for us gained (but for us thou has gained)
Coelorum gaudia (coelorum gaudia)
O that we, that were there (o that we were there)
O that we were there

Ubi sunt gaudia (ubi sunt gaudia)
If that they be not there
There are angels singing
Nova cantica
There the bells are ringing
In regis curia
O that we were there (o that we were there)
O that we were there

There are angels singing
There the bells are ringing
In regis curia
O that we were there
O that we were there
