501. O Jesu so meek, O Jesu so kind

1 O Jesus so meek, O Jesus so kind,
Thou hast fulfilled thy Father's mind;
Hast come from heaven down to earth
In human flesh through human birth.
O Jesu so meek, O Jesu so kind!

2 O Jesus so good, O Jesu so meek,
To do thy will is all we seek;
For all we are or have is thine;
Do thou our hearts to thee incline.
O Jesu so good, O Jesu so meek!
