Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
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.
VERSE 2
O Jesu parvule!
My heart is sore for thee!
Hear me I beseech thee,
O Puer optime!
My prayer let it reach thee,
O Princeps gloriae!
Trahe me post te!
Trahe me post te!
VERSE 3
O Patris caritas,
O Nati lenitas!
Deeply were we stained
Per nostra crimina;
But thou hast for us gained
Coelorum gaudia.
O that we were there!
O that we were there!
VERSE 4
Ubi sunt gaudia, where,
If that they be not there?
There are angels singing,
There the bells are ringing
In Regis curia:
O that we were there,
O that we were there!
CHOIRS I AND II
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!
We were there!
