Author: J. W. P. Hymnal: Favorites Number 6 #48 (1966) Lyrics: 1 O I want to be like Jesus
As I walk along this pilgrim way;
O I want to live like Jesus,
Showing forth His beauty ev'ry day.
This my prayer and deepest longing -
To be pure without, within;
O I want to be like Jesus,
Cleansed from dross and free from self and sin.
2 O I want to talk like Jesus,
Gracious are the words from Him we hear:
Words of life and hope for sinners,
Tender, healing words of love and cheer.
O the power and the value of a fitly spoken word!
O I want to talk like Jesus
Any time or place my voice is heard.
3 O I want to serve like Jesus ,
Willingly He came from heav'n above;
On the earth He lived for others,
Spent His life in kindly deeds of love.
I would follow where He leads me
And His bidding always do;
O I want to serve like Jesus
Till my trav'ling days on earth are through.
