| Lyrics: | English Translation: |
| In dulci jubilo | In quiet joy |
|
Let us our homage show Our heart's joy reclineth |
|
| In praesepio | In a manger |
| And like a bright star shineth | |
| Matris in gremio | In His mother's lap |
| Alpha es et O | Alpha and the Omega |
| Alpha es et O | Alpha and the Omega |
| O Jesu parvule | Oh tiny Jesus |
|
I yearn for Thee alway Hear me, I beseech Thee |
|
| O puer optime | Oh child most excellent |
| My prayer, let it reach Thee | |
| O Princeps gloriae | Oh Prince of glory |
| Trahe me post te | Draw me after Thee |
| Trahe me post te | Draw me after Thee |
| O Patris caritas | Oh love of the Father |
| O Nati lenitas | Oh gentleness of the Son |
| Deeply were we stained | |
| Per nostra crimina | Through our sins |
| But Thou for us hast gained | |
| Caelorum gaudia | The joys of heaven |
|
Oh that we were there Oh that we were there |
|
| Ubi sunt gaudia | 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 |
|
Oh that we were there Oh that we were there |
|
| Oh that we were there... |
