O to be like Him
tender and kind
Gentle in spirit
lowly in mind;
More like to Jesus day after day
Filled with His Spirit
now and alway.
Yes to be like Him
we must abide
Near to our Savior
close by His side.
O to be like Him
quick to obey
Childlike and truthful
ready to say
I and My Father purpose have one
Thine
not My will
ever be done.
O to be like Him
tempted in vain
Dwelling with sinners
yet without stain;
Giving our life work sinners to save
Triumphing over death and the grave.
