An arrangement of the wonderful old German carol "In Dulci Jubilo" made popular in an English version by R.L. Pearsall (1795-1856), mixing English and Latin words, for 8-part choir and organ. Here I have reduced the parts to three (soprano, alto, baritone) so that it can be sung by choirs for whom 8 parts is too ambitious! Perhaps surprisingly, the carol retains much of its interesting counterpoint and tuneful lyricism; I hope both singers and listeners will enjoy it equally.

1. In dulci jubilo

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!

2. O Jesu parvule,

I yearn for thee alway!

Hear me, I beseech Thee,

O puer optime;

My prayer let it reach Thee,

O princeps gloriae.

Trahe me post te.

3. O patris caritas!

O Nati lenitas!

Deeply were we stained.

Per nostra crimina:

But Thou for us hast gained

Coelorum gaudia,

O that we were there!

4. Ubi sunt gaudia,

Where, if that they be not there?

There are angels singing

Nova cantica;

There the bells are ringing

In Regis curia.

O that we were there!
