I want ¤to be like Je¤sus,
To have ¤His mind and will,
His meek ¤and low¤ly spir¤it,
O¤be¤¤dient, gen¤tle, still.

I want ¤to be like Je¤sus,
With clear ¤and sin¤gle eye,
To pen¤¤e¤trate the glo¤ry
Laid up ¤for me on high.

Mine eyes ¤shall see His beau¤ty,
God’s per¤¤fect, ho¤ly one;
The crown ¤of glo¤ry wait¤ing
For me ¤when life is done.

Mine eyes ¤shall see the Sav¤iour,
And I ¤shall bear His name,
Con¤formed ¤un¤to His im¤age,
Be¤fore ¤Him with¤out blame.

I want ¤the mind of Je¤sus,
His Spir¤¤it to con¤trol,
His love ¤a¤lone pos¤sess¤ing
My spir¤¤it, bod¤y, soul.
