I want to be like Jesus, God's well beloved Son; I want to be like Jesus, The pure and holy One.

Verse 2

Verse 3

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

Alas! I'm not like Jesus, As any one may see; Thy gentle Spirit, Savior, send, And make me like to thee.
