to be like him

From Bethlehem’s manger came forth a Stranger.
On earth I long to be like
Him;
My faithful Saviour, how rich
His favor! On earth I long to be like
Him.

CHORUS
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.

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