More like Jesus would I be,
let my Savior dwell with me;
Fill my soul with peace and love—
make me gentle as a dove;
More like Jesus, while I go,
pilgrim in this world below;
Poor in spirit would I be;
let my Savior dwell in me.
If He hears the raven’s cry,
if His ever watchful eye
Marks the sparrows when they fall,
surely He will hear my call:
He will teach me how to live,
all my sinful thoughts forgive;
Pure in heart I still would be—
let my Savior dwell in me.
More like Jesus when I pray,
more like Jesus day by day,
May I rest me by His side,
where the tranquil waters glide.
Born of Him through grace renewed,
by His love my will subdued,
Rich in faith I still would be—
let my Savior dwell in me.
