Representative Text

1 From Bethl'hem's manger came forth a Stranger,
My faithful Savior, how rich His favor!
On earth I long to be like Him;

2 Serene and holy, obedient, lowly
By grace forgiven, an heir of heaven,
On earth I long to be like Him.

Refrain:
To be like Jesus, to be like Jesus,
On earth I long to be like Him;
All thru life's journey from earth to glory
I only ask to be like Him.
