Earthly pleasures vainly call me

Earthly pleasures vainly call me

I would be like Jesus;

Nothing worldly shall enthrall me

I would be like Jesus.

Be like Jesus

this my song

In the home and in the throng;

Be like Jesus

all day long!

I would be like Jesus.

He has broken every fetter

I would be like Jesus;

That my soul may serve Him better

I would be like Jesus.

All the way from earth to glory

I would be like Jesus;

Telling o’er and o’er the story

I would be like Jesus.
