This is my constant longing and prayer.

Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures

Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

     O to be like Thee, O to be like Thee,

     Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art.

                           C                

     Come in Thy sweetness,

     Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

O to be like Thee, full of compassion,

Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,

Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,

Seeking the wand’ring sinner to find.

O to be like Thee, lowly in spirit,

                 G                   A                D

Holy and harmless, patient and brave,

                  G           C              G

Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,

                  D            A             D

Willing to suffer, others to save.
