O to Be Like Thee!
1 O to be like Thee! blessed 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, Blessed 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 wand’ring sinner to find. [Refrain] 3 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. [Refrain]
