Text:More Like Him
Author:Rev. W. C. Poole
Tune:[There's a prayer I am praying today]
Composer:B. D. Ackley

112. More Like Him

1 There’s a prayer I am praying today,
And it daily grows dearer to me,
As I look to my Savior and pray—
That I always more like Him may be.

Chorus:
More like the Master in thought and deed,
More like the Master, for this I plead;
Close by His side as He walks with me,
More like the Master I would be.

2 There’s a marvelous dream that I dream
Of a wonderful Savior divine;
And I waken to pray that my dream
May be real, and His likeness be mine. [Chorus]

3 There’s a song I am singing today,
‘Tis a song that is breathing my prayer,
As my Savior is leading my way—
That all others His likeness may share. [Chorus]
