Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 134.

Verse 1

O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild, Thy Father’s will hast Thou fulfilled; For Thou hast left Thy heavenly throne Our lowly state to make Thine own. O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild.

Verse 2

O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild, With joy hast Thou the whole world filled; Thou comest down from heaven’s hall To comfort us whom tears enthrall. O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild.

Verse 3

O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild, Thou art love’s image undefiled. Inflame our hearts with love’s pure fire, That we may share Thy heart’s desire. O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild.

Verse 4

O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild, Help us to do as Thou hast willed. What’er we have belongs to Thee: O may we ever faithful be. O Jesus sweet, O Jesus mild.
