In Dulci Jubilo by Joachim Decker — Lyrics
1.
In dulci jubilo,
Nun singet und seid froh!
Unsers Herzens Wonne liegt
in praesepio,
Und leuchtet als die Sonne
Matris in gremio,
Alpha es et O!
2.
O Jesu parvule
Nach dir ist mir so weh!
Tröst' mir mein Gemüte
O puer optime
Durch alle deine Güte
O princeps gloriae.
Trahe me post te!

About In Dulci Jubilo
In Dulci Jubilo paints a joyous scene of celebration, with angels singing new songs and bells ringing in the heavenly court. The text rejoices in the birth of Jesus, describing him as the delight of our hearts, glowing like the sun in his mother's lap. This setting for SATB voices blends German and Latin, with the choir encouraged to sing and be glad. The second verse offers a personal plea for comfort and solace from the 'best of boys' and 'prince of glory,' while the final verses reflect on our redemption through Christ's birth and the ultimate joy found in heaven.
