O To Be Like Thee

C                    F          C
Oh! to be like Thee, blessed Redeemer,
           C/G         D         G
This is my constant longing and prayer;
C                   F              C
Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures
           G       F           C
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.


[Chorus]
C         F                    C
Oh! to be like Thee, oh! to be like Thee,
         G        F            C
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
            F                      C
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
               C/G G   F          C
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.


[verse 2]
C                    F          C
Oh! to be like Thee, full of compassion,
        C/G         D         G
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
C                   F              C
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
           G       F           C
Seeking the wand’ring sinner to find.


[Chorus]
C         F                    C
Oh! to be like Thee, oh! to be like Thee,
         G        F            C
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
            F                      C
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
               C/G G   F          C
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.


[verse 3]
C                    F          C
Oh! to be like Thee, lowly in spirit,
         C/G         D         G
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
C                F        C
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
           G       F           C
Willing to suffer, others to save.


[Chorus]
C         F                    C
Oh! to be like Thee, oh! to be like Thee,
         G        F            C
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
            F                      C
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
               C/G G   F          C
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.


[Verse 4]
C                    F          C
Oh! to be like Thee, Lord, I am coming,
        C/G         D         G
Now to receive th’ anointing divine;
C                 F         C
All that I am and have I am bringing,
           G       F           C
Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine.


[Chorus]
C         F                    C
Oh! to be like Thee, oh! to be like Thee,
         G        F            C
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
            F                      C
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
               C/G G   F          C
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.


[Verse 5]
C                    F          C
Oh! to be like Thee, while I am pleading,
         C/G         D         G
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love,
C                F              C
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
           G       F           C
Fit me for life and Heaven above.


[Chorus]
C         F                    C
Oh! to be like Thee, oh! to be like Thee,
         G        F            C
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
            F                      C
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
               C/G G   F          C
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.
