Original Text

In dulci jubilo
nun singet und seid froh!
Unsers Herzen Wonne
leit in præsepio,
und leuchtet als die Sonne,
matris in gremio
Alpha es et O!

English Translation

With sweet rejoicing
now sing and be glad!
Our hearts’ delight
is lying in a manger
and shines forth like the sun
on His mother’s lap.
You are the Alpha and Omega!
