Author: C. A. M. Hymnal: Jubilate #169 (1917) Hymnal Title: Jubilate First Line: The mourners left weeping Refrain First Line: I want to be like the man of Galilee Lyrics: 1 The mourners left weeping,
And turned their sorrow into song
When Jesus the Saviour
Had passed their way along.
Refrain:
I want to be like the man of Galilee,
Humble and lowly, a true Friend to man,
And best of all should I ever hear His call,
Gladly will I answer “I’ll do the very best I can.”
2 For His heart was always
Attuned to perfect sympathy,
In other’s dark moments
I pray that mine may be. [Refrain]
3 More like Him! O grant me
This boon that those I meet may see
That daily I’m living
With Christ of Galilee. [Refrain]
4 More like Him! That others
May find in mine at least a trace
Of glory reflected
From my dear Saviour’s face. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The mourners left weeping]
Like the Man of Galilee
