(C)Oh! to be like Thee, (F)blessed Re(C)deemer,
This is my constant longing and (G)prayer;
Gladly I’ll (C)forfeit (F)all of earth’s (C)treasures,
Jesus, Thy (D)perfect likeness to (G)wear.
Chorus(C)Oh! to be (F)like Thee, oh! to be (C)like Thee,
Blessed Re(G)deemer, pure as Thou (C)art;
Come in Thy (F)sweetness, come in Thy (C)fullness;
Stamp Thine own image (G)deep on my (C)heart.
Oh! 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.
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.
