Earthly plea­sures vain­ly call me;
I would be like Je­sus;
Nothing world­ly shall en­thrall me;
I would be like Je­sus.

Refrain

Be like Je­sus, this my song,
In the home and in the throng;
Be like Je­sus, all day long!
I would be like Je­sus.

He has brok­en ev­ery fet­ter,
I would be like Je­sus;
That my soul may serve Him bet­ter,
I would be like Je­sus.

Refrain

All the way from earth to glo­ry,
I would be like Je­sus;
Telling o’er and o’er the sto­ry,
I would be like Je­sus.

Refrain

That in Hea­ven He may meet me,
I would be like Je­sus;
That His words Well done may greet me,
I would be like Je­sus.
