1. O to be like Thee! blessed Redeemer;
  This is my constant longing and prayer;
  Gladly I'll forfeit all of earth's treasures,
  Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.
(Chorus:)
  O to be like Thee! O to be like Thee!
  Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
  Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
  Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.
2. O to be like Thee! full of compassion,
  Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
  Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
  Seeking the wand'ring sinners to find.
3. O to be like Thee! Lowly in spirit,
  Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
  Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
  Willing to suffer, others to save.
(Chorus:)
  O to be like Thee! O to be like Thee!
  Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
  Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
  Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.
4. O to be like Thee! Lord, I am coming,
  Now to receive th' anointing divine;
  All that I am and have I am bringing;
  Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine.
5. O to be like Thee! While I am pleading
  Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love.
  Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
  Fit for a life which Thou wouldst approve.
(Chorus:)
  O to be like Thee! O to be like Thee!
  Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
  Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
  Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.
