O Jesulein süß, o Jesulein mild!
Deins Vaters Willn hast du erfüllt;
Bist kommen aus dem Himmelreich,
Uns armen Menschen worden gleich,
O Jesulein süß, o Jesulein mild!

O Jesulein süß, o Jesulein mild!
Mit Freuden hast du die Welt erfüllt,
Du kommst herab vom Himmelssaal,
Und tröst’st uns in dem Jammertal,
O Jesulein süß, o Jesulein mild!
3.
O Jesulein süß, o Jesulein mild!
Du bist der Lieb ein Ebenbild,
Zünd an in uns der Liebe Flamm,
Dass wir dich lieben all zusamm’,
O Jesulein süß, o Jesulein mild!
