1. In dulci jubilo Sing and shout all below! He for whom we're pining Lies in praesepio; Like the sun is shining Matris in gremio. Qui est A et O. Qui est A et O.	In sweet Joy In a manger; In His mothers lap. Who is Alpha and Omega. Who is Alpha and Omega.
2. O Jesu parvule, How my heart longs for thee! Soothe the sad and ailing, O Puer optime, With Thy love unfailing! O Princeps gloriae, Trahe me post Te, Trahe me post Te!	O infant Jesus, Child most excellent, O Prince of glory, Draw me after Thee! Draw me after Thee!
3. Mater et filia, O Mary, virgin aye, Hadst thou not gained for us Caelorum gaudia, Death still had reigned o'er us Per nostra crimina. Quanta gratia! Quanta gratia!	Mother and daughter, The joys of heaven, For our sins.) How great the grace! How great the grace!
4. Ubi sunt gaudia? Only there where alway Stand the angels singing Nova cantica, Their sweet voices ringing In regis curia. Would we were there to-day! Would we were there to-day!	Where are those joys? New songs, In the King's court.
