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.
CHORUS
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.
CHORUS
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.
