Author:F. Merrick
Tune:[More like Jesus, more like Jesus I would be]
Composer:Tullius Clinton O'Kane

8248. More Like Jesus

1 More like Jesus, more like Jesus I would be;
More like Jesus in submission,
Like Him trustful, unrepining,
Patient like Him, like Him in humility,

Refrain:
More and more, more and more,
More and more like Jesus every day.
More and more, more and more,
More like Jesus every day.

2 More like Jesus, more like Jesus would I be;
More like Jesus, true and steadfast,
Like Him striving, ever doing,
Earnest like Him, like Him in fidelity. [Refrain]

3 Blessèd Jesus, come and make me all like Thee;
All like Thee, O blessèd Jesus,
In the glory of Thy manhood,
In the beauty of Thy spotless purity. [Refrain]
