I want to be like Jesus, So lowly and so meek; For no one mark'd an angry word, That ever heard Him speak,

I want to be like Jesus, So frequently in prayer; Alone upon the mountain top, He met his Father there.

I want to be like Jesus, I never, never find That He, though persecuted was To anyone unkind.

I want to be like Jesus, Engaged in doing good; So that of me it may be said "He hath done what he could."

I want to be like Jesus, Who sweetly said to all, "Let little children come to Me;" I would obey the call.

But oh I'm not like Jesus, As anyone may see; O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace, And make me like to Thee
