Lyrics

More like Je­sus, more like Je­sus,
Every day I long to be,
Bending low in heart-con­tri­tion,
Savior, hear my soul-pe­ti­tion,
Make me more and more like Thee.

Refrain

More and more, more and more,
More and more like Je­sus;
Every day, ev­ery day,
More and more like Je­sus.

More like Je­sus, more like Je­sus,
Safe with Him, my all shall be,
Oh, the glad­ness of abiding
In the safe­ty of the hid­ing,
Jesus, liv­ing more like Thee

Refrain

More like Je­sus, more like Je­sus,
Evermore I hope to be,
Onward thro’ this whole life go­ing,
Then thro’ heav’n­ly ag­es grow­ing,
Jesus, more and more like Thee.
