VOCES8 sings Robert Lucas Pearsall's arrangement of the old German carol 'In Dulci Jubilo' at the VOCES8 Centre in London.

Text:

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!

O Jesu parvule,
I yearn for thee alway!
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,
O that we were there!

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! ​​​​​​​​
