Like Jesus

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.

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 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]
