O to be like Thee!
blessèd Redeemer,
This is my constant
longing and prayer;
Gladly I’ll forfeit all
of earth’s treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.
O to be like Thee!
O to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer,
pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness,
come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image
deep on my heart.
O to be like Thee!
full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
Helping the helpless,
cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wandering
sinner to find.
O to be like Thee!
O to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer,
pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness,
come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image
deep on my heart.
O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless,
patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer others to save.
O to be like Thee!
O to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer,
pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness,
come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image
deep on my heart.
O to be like Thee!
Lord, I am coming
Now to receive anointing divine;
All that I am and have I am bringing,
Lord, from this moment
all shall be Thine.
O to be like Thee!
O to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer,
pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness,
come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image
deep on my heart.
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 me for life and heaven above.
O to be like Thee!
O to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer,
pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness,
come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image
deep on my heart.
