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 the mother's lap Alpha es et O. Thou art Alpha and Omega 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, Prince of glory Trahe me post te. draw me unto thee O Patris caritas O father's caring O Nati lenitas O newborn's mildness Deeply were we stained Per nostra crimina by our crimes But thou hast for us gained Coelorum gaudia heavenly joy O that we were there Ubi sunt gaudia where be joys Where, if that they be not there There are angels singing Nova cantica new songs There the bells are ringing In Regis curia at the king's court O that we were there."
