Like Jesus

Hymnal: LSSS1870 #92 (1870) Person Name: J. Becker, Jr. First Line: I want to be like Jesus Lyrics: 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. Tune Title: [I want to be like Jesus]

Give glory to God

Bouce First Line: Give glory to God in the highest, give praise Lyrics: 1 Give glory to God in the highest, give praise Ye noble, ye mighty, with joyful accord, All wise are his counsels, all perfect his ways, In the beauty of holiness, worship the Lord. The voice of the Lord on the ocean is known, The God of eternity thunders abroad; The voice of the Lord from the depth of his throne, Is terror and power--all nature is awed. 2 At the voice of the Lord the tall cedars are bowed, And towers from their base into ruin are hurled, The voice of the Lord, from the dark bosomed cloud Dissevers the lightning in flames o'er the world. The voice of the Lord thro' the calm of the wood, Awakens its echoes, strikes light thro' its caves, The Lord sitteth King on the turbulent flood, The winds are his servants--his servants the waves. 3 Give glory to God in the highest, give praise Ye noble, ye mighty, with joyful accord, All wise are his counsels, all perfect his ways, In the beauty of holiness, worship the Lord. The Lord is the strength of his people; the Lord Gives health to his chosen, and peace evermore; Then throng to his temple, his glory record; But, oh, when he speaketh, in silence adore. Tune Title: [Give glory to God in the highest, give praise]
