Oh to be like Thee dear Jesus, my plea
Just to know Thou art formed fully in me
Oh with Thy beauty, Lord off with my sin
Fixed on Thy glory, Thy likeness to win
Oh to be like Thee, Thine image display
This is the Spirit's work, day after day
Glory to glory, transformed by His grace
'Til in Thy presence I stand face to face
To be like Thee Jesus, to be like Thee Jesus
For this I live, to this day I'll die
It is my hope, my prayer, my cry
Oh to be like Thee, Thou lover of men
Gracious and gentle, compassionate Friend
Merciful Saviour, such kindness and care
Are only mine when Thy likeness I share
