一 哦,我要像祢!可愛的救主!
這是我所求,是我所慕;
我歡喜丟棄一切的富足,
盼望能和祢形像合符。
(副)哦,我要像祢!哦,我要像祢!
可愛的救主,像祢模樣;
像祢的甘甜,像祢的貞堅,
在我的衷心刻祢形像。
二 哦,我要像祢!那樣的柔細,
寬恕又憐憫、仁愛、良善;
幫助孤單的,勉勵灰心的,
尋找犯罪人,不辭危難。
三 哦,我要像祢!那樣的忍耐,
聖潔而謙卑,於人無傷;
溫和的接受無理的苦待,
寧可救別人,自己死亡。
四 哦,我要像祢!我今迫切求,
我願出代價跟隨祢行;
將我的所是和我的所有,
完全獻給祢,不自經營。
五 哦,我要像祢!正當我祈求,
倒下祢的愛充滿我心;
使我作個殿,配給祢居留,
使我的生命與祢相印。
1. O to be like Thee! blessed Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer.
Gladly I'll forfeit all of earth's treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.
Refrain
O to be like Thee! O to be like Thee,
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art!
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.
2. O to be like Thee! full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wand'ring sinners to find.
3. O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer, others to save.
4. O to be like Thee! Lord, I am coming,
Now to receive th'anointing divine;
All that I am and have I am bringing;
Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine.
5. O to be like Thee! While I am pleading
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love.
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit for a life which Thou wouldst approve.
