A Bluestocking Knits

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

I yearn for thee alway

Keep me, I beseech
O puer optime

My prayer, let it reach thee
O princeps gloriae
Trahe me post te.

O patris caritas
O nati lenitas

Deeply were we stainèd
Per nostra crimina

But thou has for us gainèd
Coelorum gaudia

Oh that we were there!

Ubi sunt gaudia

In any place but there

There are angels singing
Nova cantica

And there the bells are ringing
In regis curia

Oh that we were there!
