I Would Be Like Jesus

1. Earthly pleasures vainly call me
I would be like Jesus;
Nothing worldly shall enthrall me
I would be like Jesus:

2. He has broken every fetter
I would be like Jesus;
That my soul may serve Him better
I would be like Jesus:

3. All the way from earth to glory
I would be like Jesus;
Telling o'er and o'er the story
I would be like Jesus:

4. That in Heaven He may meet me
I would be like Jesus;
That His words "Well done" may greet me,
I would be like Jesus:

Chorus:
Be like Jesus this my song
In the home and in the throng;
Be like Jesus all day long!
I would be like Jesus.
