A medieval macaronic carol blending Latin and German, dating to 14th-century Germany and attributed to the mystic Heinrich Suso. It celebrates the joy of Christ's birth, with the child depicted resting in a manger shining like a bright star.

Verse 1

In dulci jubilo,
Let us our homage show;
Our hearts joy reclineth
In praesepio,

And like a bright star shineth
Matris in gremio;
Alpha est et O,
Alpha est et O.
