| 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.
 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.
 Refrain O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
 Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
 Willing to suffer others to save.
 Refrain O to be like Thee! Lord, I am comingNow to receive anointing divine;
 All that I am and have I am bringing,
 Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine.
 Refrain 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.
