- 1.
- In dulci jubilo, [In quiet joy]
- Nun singet und seid froh!
- Unsers Herzens Wonne
- Leit in praesepio,
- Und leuchtet als die Sonne
- Matris in gremio,
- Alpha es et O, Alpha es et O! [He is Alpha and Omega]
- 2.
- O Jesu parvule, [O quiet Jesus]
- Nach dir ist mir so weh!
- Tröst mir mein Gemüte
- O puer optime [O best of boys]
- Durch alle deine Güte
- O princeps gloriae. [O prince of glory]
- Trahe me post te, Trahe me post te! [Draw me after Thee]
- 3.
- O Patris caritas! [O love of the Father]
- O Nati lenitas! [O gentleness of the Son]
- Wir wären all verloren
- Per nostra crimina [Through our sins]
- So hat er uns erworben
- Coelorum gaudia [The joy of heaven]
- Eia, wären wir da, Eia, wären wir da!
- 4.
- Ubi sunt gaudia [Where are joys]
- Nirgend mehr denn da!
- Da die Engel singen
- Nova cantica, [New songs]
- Und die Schellen klingen
- In regis curia. [In the King's court]
- Eia, wären wir da, Eia, wären wir da!
- Lyrics: A 14th Century Macaronic Carol

- O Jesu, parvule, [O quiet Jesus]
- For thee I long alway;
- Comfort my heart's blindness,
- O puer optime, [O best of boys]
- With all Thy lovingkindness,
- O princeps gloriae. [O prince of glory]
- Trahe me post te! [Draw me after Thee]
- 3.
- O Patris caritas! [O love of the Father]
- O Nati lenitas! [O gentleness of the Son]
- Deeply were we stainèd
- Per nostra crimina; [Through our sins]
- But Thou for us hast gainèd
- Coelorum gaudia. [The joy of heaven]
- O that we were there!
- 4.
- Ubi sunt gaudia [Where are joys]
- In any place but there?
- There are angels singing
- Nova cantica [New songs]
- And there the bells are ringing
- In Regis curia. [In the King's court]
- O that we were there!
