FROM Bethlehem's manger came forth a Stranger, On earth I long to be like Him; My faithful Saviour, how rich His favor! On earth I long to be like Him.

To be like Jesus, to be like Jesus, On earth I long to be like Him; All thru life's journey from earth to glory I only ask to be like Him.

Serene and holy, obedient, lowly, On earth I long to be like Him; By grace forgiven, an heir of heaven, On earth I long to be like Him.

To be like Jesus, to be like Jesus, On earth I long to be like Him; All thru life's journey from earth to glory I only ask to be like Him.
