The Little Sower for Sabbath Schools ‎#92

92. Like Jesus

1 I want to be like Jesus,
So lowly and so meek;
For no one marked an evil word,
That ever heard him speak.
I want to be like Jesus,
So frequently is prayer,
Alone upon the mountain top,
He met his Father there.
I want to be like Jesus,
So lowly and so meek;
For no one marked an evil word,
That ever heard him speak.

2 I want to be like Jesus,
For I never, never find
That he, though persecuted, was
To any one unkind.
I want to be like Jesus,
Engaged in doing good,
So that it may of me be said,
She hath done what she could.
I want to be like Jesus,
For I never, never find
That he, though persecuted, was
To any one unkind.
