We evaluate the next-to-leading-order QCD corrections of O(alpha_s~2 G_F M_t~2) to the Standard-Model l~+l~-H, ZZH, and W~+W~-H couplings in the heavy-top- quark limit. Exploiting these results together with knowledge of Delta rho to the same order, we analyze a variety of production and decay processes of low- mass Higgs bosons at e~+e~- colliders. Specifically, we consider H->l~+l~-, H->l~+l~-l'~+l'~-, e~+e~-->ZH, Z->ff-barH, and e~+e~-->ff-barH, with f=l,nu. We work in the electroweak on-shell scheme formulated with G_F and employ both the on-shell and MS-bar definitions of the top-quark mass in QCD. As expected, the scheme and scale dependences are greatly reduced when the next-to-leading- order corrections are taken into account. In the on-shell scheme of top-quark mass renormalization, the O(alpha_s~2 G_F M_t~2) corrections act in the same direction as the O(alpha_s G_F M_t~2) ones and further increase the screening of the O(G_F M_t~2) terms. The coefficients of (alpha_s/pi)~2 range from -6.847 for the ZZH coupling to -16.201 for the l~+l~-H coupling. This is in line with the value -14.594 recently found for Delta rho.
