From Bethlehem’s Manger Came Forth A Stranger,
And Lowly, I Would Be Like Him;
Oh, Precious Savior With Kindly Favor,
A Friend To All, I’d Be Like Him.
With Love And Meekness To Those In Weakness,
I’d Be A Little More Like Him;
I’d Lead The Living When Danger’s Nearing,
And Be To Them A Guide Like Him.
To Be Like Jesus, To Be Like Jesus,
I Only Ask To Be Like Him;
In Life That’s Lowly, In Heart That’s Holy,
Oh, How I Long To Be Like Him.
He Heard The Crying Of Lost Ones Dying,
In Mercy, I Would Be Like Him;
For Each Condition, A Kind Physician,
In Sympathy, I’d Be Like Him.
When Friends Had Failed Him, His Foes Had Nailed Him
Upon The Cross, A Friend Like Him;
He Then Forgave Them And Died To Save Them,
Forgiving, I Would Be Like Him.
The Soldiers Bound Him, With Thorns They Crowned Him,
Enduring, I Would Be Like Him;
They Did Deride Him, And Crucified Him,
Submissive, I Would Be Like Him.
From Death’s Cold Prison Our Lord Has Risen,
I Hope Someday To Be Like Him;
He’s Gone To Glory, Oh, Wondrous Story,
That I Someday Shall Be Like Him.
