O TO BE LIKE THEE
1. O to be like
Thee! blessed Redeemer,
This is my constant
longing and prayer.
gladly I'll forfeit
all of earth's treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect
likeness to wear.
Refrain
O to be like Thee!
O to be like Thee,
Blessed Redeemer,
pure as Thou art!
Come in Thy
sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own
image deep on my heart.
2. O to be like
Thee! full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving,
tender and kind,
Helping the
helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the
wand'ring sinners to find.
3. O to be like
Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless,
patient and brave;
Meekly enduring
cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer,
others to save.
4. O to be like
Thee! Lord, I am coming,
Now to receive
th'anointing divine;
All that I am and
have I am bringing;
Lord, from this
moment all shall be Thine.
5. O to be like
Thee! While I am pleading
Pour out Thy
Spirit, fill with Thy love.
Make me a temple
meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit for a life
which Thou wouldst approve.
