Blessed Redeemer,This is my constant longing and prayer;Gladly I'll forfeit all of earth's treasures,Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.Refrain: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 sinner to find. [Refrain]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. [Refrain]4 O to be like Thee! Lord, I am comingNow to receive th' anointing divine;All that I am and have I am bringing,Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine. [Refrain]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 me for life and heaven above. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O to be like Thee! Blessed Redeemer]
