LyicsMORE like Jesus, more like Jesus would I be-
More like Jesus in submission,
Like him trustful, unrepining,
Patient like him, like him in humility.-CHO.
CHO. - More and more, more and more
More and more like Jesus every day;
More and more, more and more, more and more, more and more,
More like Jesus every day.
More like Jesus, more like Jesus would I be-
More like Jesus, true and steadfast,
Like him striving, ever doing,
Earnest like him, like him in fidelity.-CHO.
Blessed Jesus, come and make me all like thee-
All like thee, O blessed Jesus,
In the glory of thy manhood,
In the beauty of thy spotless purity.-CHO.
