VERSE 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.
CHORUS
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.
VERSE 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.
CHORUS
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.
VERSE 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.
CHORUS
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.
VERSE 4
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.
CHORUS
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.
VERSE 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.
CHORUS
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.
