MORE LIKE JESUS-William Howard Doane

More Like Jesus Would I Be
}
More like Jesus would I be;
Let my Savior dwell in me-
Fill my soul with peace and love-
Make me gentle as a dove;
More like Jesus, while I go,
Pilgrim in this world below;
Poor in spirit would I be-
Let my Savior dwell in me.

If He hears the raven's cry,
If His ever watchful eye
Marks the sparrows when they fall,
Surely He will hear my call;
He will teach me how to live,
All my simple tho'ts forgive;
Pure in heart I still would be
Let my Savior dwell in me.

More like Jesus when I pray,
More like Jesus day by day,
May I rest me by His side,
Where the tranquil waters glide;
Born of Him, thro' grace renewed,
By His love my will subdued,
Rich in faith I still would be-
Let my Savior dwell in me.
