Representative Text

1 More and more like Jesus I would ever be,
Walking in His footsteps, for He died for me;
And my Savior shineth with a steadfast light,
Trusting, tho’ the pathway lead thro’ darkest night.

2 Refrain
More and more, more and more
Like Him I would be;
More and more like Jesus,
Who once died for me.

3 More and more like Jesus, Showing forth His love,
Looking ever upward to my home above;
Hope and comfort bringing in His blessed name,
Telling how in mercy to redeem He came.

4 More and more like Jesus till I see His face,
Chang’d into His likeness by His wondrous grace;
More and more like Jesus thro’ eternity;
More and more like Jesus, this my song shall be.
