O Jesus my Lord, how sweetly you lie, so far from home in heaven on high; you come to do your Father's will, to feel our pain, to cure our ill, to live and serve, to love and die! O Jesus my Lord, how sweetly you lie - a helpless babe in poverty; you deign to share our earthly fate, and by your grace illuminate the valley of our misery! O Jesus my Lord, how sweetly you lie - the Son revealed to human eye: so light in us your flame of love that we may lift our hearts above to God, whom angels glorify! O Jesus my Lord, how sweetly you lie and show us God's humility: accept the offering at our hands of faithfulness to your commands, and praise throughout eternity!
