1.
O little one sweet,
O little one mild,
thy Father’s purpose thou hast fulfilled;
thou cam’st from heav’n to mortal ken
equal to be with us poor men,
O little one sweet,
O little one mild.

O sweet little Jesus, O mild little Jesus,
the Father’s will you have fulfilled;
you have come from the heavenly kingdom,
(you have) become like us poor mortals,
O sweet little Jesus, O mild little Jesus.

O little one sweet,
O little one mild,
with joy thou hast the whole world filled;
thou camest here from heaven’s domain
to bring men comfort in their pain,
O little one sweet,
O little one mild.

O sweet little Jesus, O mild little Jesus,
you are the image of love:
ignite in us the flame of love,
that we all of one accord love you,
O sweet little Jesus, O mild little Jesus.

O little one sweet,
O little one mild,
in thee love’s beauties are all distilled;
then light in us thy love’s bright flame,
that we may give thee back the same,
O little one sweet,
O little one mild.

O little one sweet,
O little one mild,
help us to do as thou hast willed.
Lo, all we have belongs to thee!
Ah, keep us in our fealty!
O little one sweet,
O little one mild.
