O to Be Like Him

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.
