Thank you GUEST!! Have been trying to get these three versus right for 35 years. Could always sing two out of the three versus. Had the privelege of singing this old favorite acapela in an old church with my church group while visiting Israel. Love to worship my Lord by singing this song!!

O Jesu so sweet, O Jesu so mild
Thou cam'st to us a little child
From highest heaven to earth below
because the Father willed it so
O Jesu so sweet, O Jesu so mild.

O Jesu so sweet, O Jesu so mild
Mankind was all by sin beguiled
But through the power of thy great love
our hearts were turned to heaven above
O Jesu so sweet, O Jesu so mild

O Jesu so sweet, O Jesu so mild
We praise Thy Name, thou holy child.
O may we learn as ne'er before
to serve and love thee ever more
O Jesu so sweet, O Jesu so mild

Another translation of it:

O Jesu, Sweet Child (with midi).

"O Jesu(Jesus) so sweet," "O Jesulein süss" in German, is the one. Sheet music is available under this name, several arrangers.

The hymn is the one by Thilo, posted by Dixon, but arranged for chorale by Bach.
There are a number of translations of the German lyrics, hunt around on the net and you may find the particular one you are looking for. Here are a couple:

Hmmmm. Ten years and six weeks between question and answer. Is that a record for you, Jim? I always love it when you resurrect these old threads.
Mr. Spaceman was longer, but it had more-or-less been answered the first time...

Maybe what we have here is a different translation:

O JESUS SO SWEET, O JESUS SO MILD
Valentin Thilo, 1607-62

O Jesus so sweet, O Jesus so Mild!
For sinners You became a child.
You came from heaven to fulfill
Your Father's just and holy will.
O Jesus so sweet, O Jesus so mild!

O Jesus so sweet, O Jesus so Mild!
With God we now are reconciled.
You have for all the ransom paid,
Your Father's righteous anger stayed.
O Jesus so sweet, O Jesus so mild!

O Jesus so sweet, O Jesus so Mild!
Joy fills the world which sin defiled.
Whatever we have belongs to You;
Oh, keep us faithful, strong, and true.
O Jesus so sweet, O Jesus so mild!

I am looking for the lyrics to a Bach Chorale which begin: "o Jesu so sweet, o Jesu so mild, Thou cam'st to earth a little child.
