Representative Text

1 More like Jesus, more like Jesus,
Every day I long to be,
Bending low in heart-contrition,
Savior, hear my soul-petition,
Make me more and more like Thee.

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

2 More like Jesus, more like Jesus,
Safe with Him, my all shall be,
Oh, the gladness of abiding
In the safety of the hiding,
Jesus, living more like Thee [Refrain]

3 More like Jesus, more like Jesus,
Evermore I hope to be,
Onward thro’ this whole life going,
Then thro’ heav’nly ages growing,
Jesus, more and more like Thee. [Refrain]
