More Like Jesus Would I Be
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #397 (1980) Topics: Christ Guide; Christ Guide Lyrics: 1 More like Jesus would I be,
Let my Savior dwell with me;

Pilgrim in this world below;
Poor in spirit would I be;
Let my Savior dwell in me.

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 sinful thoughts forgive;
Pure in heart I still would be;
Let my Savior dwell in me.

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

Remind me of the way
We after Him must go.

When death stands at the door,--
For Christ is there to strengthen.

To conquer death and hell;
A Conqueror He rose,
And all with us is well.

Guide the wand'rer, day by day,
In the strait and narrow way.

Ever shall thy love endure;

How to greater bliss aspire?

Hast thou made me truly thine?

Reconciled my heart to God?
Hearken to my tender prayer
Let me thine own image bear,
Let me love thee more and more
Till I reach heav'n's blissful shore.
