1. O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild,
your Father’s will you have fulfilled.
From heav’n above to earth you came,
and born as man you took our name,
O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild.
2. O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild,
your birth the world with hope has filled.
Your death has ransomed our lost race,
for on the cross you took our place,
O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild.
3. O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild,
we seek to do what you have willed.
All that we have comes from above;
Lord, keep us walking in your love,
O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild.
O JESUS SWEET, O JESUS MILD
