Oh, to Be More Like Jesus
Author: W. L. T. Hymnal: Williston Hymns #60 (1917) First Line: O to be more like Jesus Refrain First Line: More, more like Jesus Lyrics: 1 O to be more like Jesus,
O to have more of His love;
Deep in my heart,
Filling my soul,
From the great heart above.
Jesus came loving and cheering,
Giving the hungry food,
Helping the poor and needy,—
Jesus was kind and good.
Refrain:
More, more like Jesus,
Guiding the sinner above;
Never cease trying,
Living or dying,
Working for God and love.
2 O to be more like Jesus,
Helping the fallen to rise;
Giving a hand,
Bidding to stand,
Firm in the faith we prize.
Cheering the broken hearted,
Wiping away their tears;
Comforting many in sorrow,
Banishing doubts and fears. [Refrain]
3 O to be more like Jesus,
Merciful, loving, and kind;
Leading the way,
Bright’ning the day,
Helping the lame and blind.
Jesus came saving the fallen,
Helping them sin o’ercome;
Rescuing perishing sinners,
Bringing the wayward home. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Oh, to be more like Jesus]

Will L. Thompson
1847 - 1909 Person Name: W. L. T. Author of "Oh, to Be More Like Jesus" in Service Songs for Young People's Societies, Sunday Schools and Church Prayer Meetings Will Lamartine Thompson (1847-1909)
Born: November 7, 1847, East Liverpool, Ohio.
Died: September 20, 1909, New York, New York.
Buried: Riverview Cemetery, East Liverpool, Ohio.
Rebuffed in an early attempt to sell his songs to a commercial publisher, Thompson started his own publishing company. He later expanded, opening a store to sell pianos, organs and sheet music. Both a lyricist and composer, he ensured he would always remember words or melodies that came to him at odd times:
"No matter where I am, at home or hotel, at the store or traveling, if an idea or theme comes to me that I deem worthy of a song, I jot it down in verse. In this way I never lose it."
Thompson took ill during a tour of Europe, and his family cut short their travels to return home. He died a few weeks later.
