41. To Be Like Jesus

1 Oh, to be like Jesus, and to walk in all His ways
Ever true and blameless, to His glory and His praise.
Oh, to serve Him well,
His love’s sweet story tell,
In the Savior’s presence dwelling all my days.

Refrain:
Oh, to be like Jesus,
To walk in all His ways
Ever true and blameless,
To serve Him all my days.

2 Oh, to be like Jesus, in this world of sin to shine;
Ev’ry word and action glowing with His love divine;
Steady like a star,
With naught of self to mar,
That the world may see the Savior’s life in mine. [Refrain]

3 Oh, to be like Jesus, living such a life of prayer
That the Holy Spirit may be with me ev’rywhere,
Giving hour by hour
The wisdom, grace and pow’r
Worthily His great salvation to declare. [Refrain]
