Name That Christmas Tune two-fer

[lumineaux]

(1)  All glory be to God on high,
     And to the earth be Peace;
     Good Will, henceforth, from Heaven to Men
     Begin and never cease.


(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, Trahe me post te!

I don't expect 99% of you to get #2.  Hint:  It's a 14th cen. macronic hymn.   :-)

And the answers are:

(1) While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night; (2) In Dulci Jubilio

#2 is In Dulci Jubilo. I'll have to think about #1 for a bit....

I don't know the song that well, but the meter screams "Good King Wenceslaus" to me.

I could check (Michael Stipe, Mandy Patinkin and Stephen Colbert performed it the other day on The Colbert Report), but that's cheating.

No cheating.

You're right. The meter is the same. But that's not it.

#2 is in Dulci Jubilo, but #1 is While Shepherds Watched their Flocks by Night, which most choristers call While Shepherds Washed their Socks
