Oh! to be like Thee, blessed Redeemer,

Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures
GFC
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
GFC
Seeking the wand’ring sinner to find.

Oh! to be like Thee, oh! to be like Thee,
GFC
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;

Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;

Willing to suffer, others to save.

Oh! to be like Thee, oh! to be like Thee,
GFC
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;

Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine.

Oh! to be like Thee, while I am pleading,
C/GDG
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love,

Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
GFC
Fit me for life and Heaven above.

Oh! to be like Thee, oh! to be like Thee,
GFC
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;

Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
