"In Dulci Jubilo" performed by Melisma, Belfast.
The text of this version:
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!
