To Be like Jesus.

To be like Jesus is our aim; He is our pattern and our guide, Oh! may we glorify his name, And ever in his love abide.

To be like Jesus, lowly, meek, A life well spent in noble deeds, The good of others always seek, Always attentive to their needs.

To be like Jesus, self deny; To bear the cross, despise the shame; To aid the helpless when they cry; By word and deed the truth sustain.

To be like Jesus, full of love, Of sympathy, and tender care; Pointing earth's wearied ones above, And all life's blessings with them share.

To be like Jesus, watch and pray; Like him, life's burdens meekly bear; With patience tread the rugged way, Nor murmur at the toil and care.

To be like Jesus, free from sin, Our lips ne'er stained with words of guile, Thus, may we hope life's crown to win; Thus day by day enjoy his smile.

To be like Jesus, when at last Life's fevered dream and strife are o'er, All suffering, sorrows, trials past, We stand redeemed on Canaan's shore.
