1.   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.

(Refrain) 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.

2.   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.

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 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 me for life and Heaven above.
