Verse 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.
Verse 2
O to be like Thee! Full of compassion, Loving, forgiving, tender and kind, Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting, Seeking the wand'ring sinner to find.
Verse 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.
Verse 4
O to be like Thee! Lord, I am coming, Now to receive the anointing divine; All that I am and have I am bringing; Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine.
Chorus
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.
