1. I want to be more like Jesus, And follow Him day by day;
I want to be true and faithful,
And ev’ry command obey.
More and more like Jesus,
I would ever be; (ever be;)
My Savior who died for me.

To those who are in distress;
To comfort the broken hearted
With sweet words of tenderness.
More and more like Jesus,
I would ever be; (ever be;)
My Savior who died for me.

I want to be meek and lowly,
Like Jesus, our Friend and King;
I want to be strong and earnest,
And souls to the Savior bring.
More and more like Jesus,

My Savior who died for me.
