Jussive mood
The jussive (abbreviated JUS) is a grammatical mood of verbs for issuing orders, commanding, or exhorting (within a subjunctive framework). English verbs are not marked for this mood. The mood is similar to the cohortative mood, which typically applies to the first person by appeal to the object's duties and obligations, and the imperative, which applies to the second (by command). The jussive however typically covers the first and third persons. It can also apply to orders by their author's wish in the mandative subjunctive.

jussive mood
The jussive mood is a grammatical mood used to indicate a command, permission, wish, or similar action, typically expressing some measure of urgency or necessity. It is used in some languages, like Arabic, Latin, and Turkish. In English, it isn't explicitly marked and is usually conveyed through context or additional words. This mood is often used within subordinate clauses.

Jussive Mood
The style of conjugation-and-aspect of verbs for giving an order, but in the first or third person. The imperative, which is for giving a command, would be made in only the second. But the jussive – typically by using ‘let’ me/us/her/him/it/them &c (in the sense of causing, not allowing) and appealing to the grammatical patient's duties or responsibilities – avoids being as harsh. The subjunctive, which denotes a possibility, wish etc, is not covered by this. e g, Neither 'Thy Kingdom come' nor 'Thy Will be done' is an order – each is an ancient contraction of the speaker's wish, with the 'may' discarded or forgotten and, is a subjunctive
