Lyrics: 

1. In dulci jubilo, Nun singet und seid froh! Unsers Herzens Wonne Leit in praesepio, Und leuchtet als die Sonne Matris in gremio, Alpha es et O, Alpha es et O!

2. O Jesu parvule Nach dir ist mir so weh! Tröst mir mein Gemüte O puer optime Durch alle deine Güte O princeps gloriae. Trahe me post te, Trahe me post te!

3. O Patris caritas! O Nati lenitas! Wir wären all verloren Per nostra crimina So hat er uns erworben
Coelorum gaudia Eia, wären wir da, Eia, wären wir da!

4. Ubi sunt gaudia Nirgend mehr denn da! Da die Engel singen Nova cantica, Und die Schellen klingen
In regis curia. Eia, wären wir da, Eia, wären wir da!

Translated Lyrics: 

1. In dulci 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!

2. O Jesu parvule, For thee I long alway; Comfort in my heart's blindness, O puer optime; With all thy loving kindness, O princeps gloriae. Trahe me post te. Trahe me post te.

3. O patris caritas! O Nati lenitas! Deeply were we stained Per nostra crimina: But Thou for us hast gained Coelorum gaudia, O that we were there!

4. Ubi sunt gaudia, In any place but there? There are Angels singing Nova cantica; And there the bells are ringing In Regis curia. O that we were there!
