Choir of king's college, cambridge - In dulci jubilo lyrics

In dulci jubilo (quiet joy) Let us our homage shew; Our heart's joy reclineth In praesepio And like a bright star shineth Matris in gremio Alpha es et O! O Jesu parvule, (tiny Jesus) I yearn for thee alway; Listen to my ditty O Puer optime, [best of boys] Have pity on me, pity O princeps gloriae! [prince of glory] Trahe me post te! [draw me after Thee] O Patris caritas, [love of the Father] O Nati lenitas! [gentleness of the Son] Deeply were we stain'ed Per nostra crimina; [through our sins] But thou hast for us gain'ed Coelorum gaudia. [the joy of heaven] O that we were there! Ubi sunt gaudia, where, [where are joys] If that they be not there? There are angels singing Nova cantica, [new songs] There the bells are ringing In Regis curia: [in the King's court] O that we were there! 14th century German Arranged RL. de Pearsall Edited, Reginald Jacques Oxford University Press
