. In dulci jubilo Let us our homage shew: Our hearts joy reclineth In praesepio; And like a bright star shineth Matris in gremio, Alpha es et O! 2. O Jesu parvule, My heart is sore for Thee!1 Hear me, I beseech Thee, O puer optime; My praying let it reach Thee,2 O princeps gloriae. Trahe me post te. 3. O patris caritas! O Nati lenitas! Deeply were we stained.3 Per nostra crimina: But Thou for us hast gained4 Coelorum gaudia, Qualis gloria!5 4. Ubi sunt gaudia, If that they be not there?6 There are Angels singing7 Nova cantica; And there the bells are ringing In Regis curia. O that we were there! Hutchins adds: There are Angels singing And there the bells are ringing In Regis curia. O that we were there! O that we were there!
