Lyrics

More like Thee, O Sav­ior, let me be,
More like Thee from day to day;
Never let me from Thy foot­steps stray,
Keep me in the nar­row way.

Refrain

More like Thee, more like Thee,
More like Thee, O Christ, like Thee;
By Thy grace, O let me day by day
Grow more and more like Thee.

More like Thee, O Sav­ior, let me be,
Pure with­out, and pure with­in;
Keep me ev­er from the ways of sin,
I the crown of life would win.

Refrain

More like Thee, O Sav­ior, let me be,
All my pil­grim jour­ney thro’;
Meek and low­ly, ev­er kind and true,
Like Thy­self in all I do.
