Hymns - O To Be Like Thee

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. 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. O to be like Thee! full of compassion,Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,Seeking the wand'ring sinners to find. 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! 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. 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 for a life which Thou wouldst approve.
