I Would Be Like Jesus

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.

That in Heav­en He may meet me

I would be like Je­sus;

That His words Well done may greet me

I would be like Je­sus.
