In Dulci Jubilo - Sissel - Mormon Tabernacle Choir
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! O Jesu parvule, My heart is sore for Thee Hear me, I beseech Thee O puer optime My praying let it reach Thee! O princeps gloriae Trahe me post te. O patris caritas! O Nati lenitas! Deeply were we stained Per nostra crimina But Thou for us hast gained Coelorum gaudia Qualis gloria! Ubi sunt gaudia, If that they be not there? There are angels singing Nova cantica; And there the bells are ringing In Regis curia O that we were there!
