words based on the translation by Percy Dearmer
1 O little one sweet, O little one mild,
thy Father's purpose thou hast fulfilled;
thou cam'st from heaven to mortal ken,
Equal to be with us poor men,
O little one sweet, O little one mild.
2 O little one sweet, O little one mild,
thy Father's purpose thou hast fulfilled;
thou cam'st from Him, from heaven's domain,
to bring men comfort in their pain,
O little one sweet, O little one mild.
3 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.
4 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. less
