Oh To Be Like Thee

Oh 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.

Oh to be like Thee,

Oh 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.

Oh to be like Thee,

Full of compassion,

Loving, forgiving,

Tender and kind,

Helping the helpless,

Cheering the fainting,

Seeking the wandering

Sinner to find.

Oh to be like Thee,

Lowly in spirit,

Holy and harmless,

Patient and brave;

Meekly enduring

Cruel reproaches,

Willing to suffer,

Others to save.

Oh 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.

Oh 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 me for life

And heaven above.
