102. O Jesu Sweet, O Jesu Mild

1 O Jesu sweet, O Jesu mild,
Thy Father's will hast Thou fulfilled.
For Thou hast left Thy heav'nly throne
Or lowly state to make Thine own.
O Jesu sweet, O Jesu mild.

2 O Jesu sweet, O Jesu mild,
Help us to do as Thou hast willed.
Whatever we have belongs to Thee:
O may we ever faithful be,
O Jesu sweet, O Jesu mild.
