 Latin and  German text
- 1.
In dulci jubilo,
Nun singet und seid froh!
Unsers Herzens Wonne
Liegt (leit?) in praesepio,
Und leuchtet als die Sonne
Matris in gremio,
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!
- 3.
O Patris caritas!
O Nati lenitas!
Wir wären all verloren (verdoben?)
Per nostra crimina
So hat er uns erworben
Coelorum gaudia
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!

 English translation
- 1.
In quiet joy
Now sing with hearts aglow!
Our delight and pleasure
Lies in a manger;
Like sunshine is our treasure
in the mother's lap.
Thou art Alpha and Omega
- 2.
O tiny Jesus
For thee I long alway;
Comfort my heart's blindness,
O best of boys
With all Thy loving kindness,
O prince of glory
Draw me after Thee
- 3.
O love of the Father
O gentleness of the Son
Deeply were we stainèd
Through our sins
But Thou for us hast gainèd
The joy of heaven
O that we were there!
- 4.
Where are joys
In any place but there?
There are angels singing
New songs
And there the bells are ringing
In the king's court
O that we were there!
Alternative translation
by Christopher Moore
- 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.
- 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.
