Oh, to be like thee! Blessed Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer
Gladly I'll forfeit all of earth treasures,
Jesus Thy perfect likeness to wear.
"Oh, to be like thee! Oh, to be like thee!
Blessed Redeemer pure as thou art!
Come in Thy swetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart."
Oh, to be like Thee! full of compassion,
Loving forgiving ,tender and kind,
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wendering sinner to find.
Oh, to be like Thee! lowily in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer others to save.
Oh, to be like Thee! lowly in spirit, I am coming,
Now to recieve th'anothing divine,
All that I am and have I am bringing,
Lord from this moment all shall be Thine.
Oh, to be like Thee! while I am pleeding,
Pour out Thy spirit, fill with Thy love,
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit me for life and heaven above.
