Like Jesus

Hymnal: The Little Sower for Sabbath Schools #92 (1870) First Line: I want to be like Jesus Lyrics: 1 I want to be like Jesus, So lowly and so meek; For no one marked an evil word, That ever heard him speak. I want to be like Jesus, So frequently is prayer, Alone upon the mountain top, He met his Father there. I want to be like Jesus, So lowly and so meek; For no one marked an evil word, That ever heard him speak. 2 I want to be like Jesus, For I never, never find That he, though persecuted, was To any one unkind. I want to be like Jesus, Engaged in doing good, So that it may of me be said, She hath done what she could. I want to be like Jesus, For I never, never find That he, though persecuted, was To any one unkind. Tune Title: [I want to be like Jesus]

I want to be like Jesus

Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #182d (1870) Lyrics: 1 I want to be like Jesus, So lowly and so meek; For no one mark'd an angry word That ever heard him speak. I want to be like Jesus, So frequently in prayer; Alone upon the mountain-top He met his Father there. 2 I want to be like Jesus; I never, never find That he, though persecuted, was To say one unkind. I want to be like Jesus, Engaged in doing good, So that of me it may be said, "She hath done what she could." 3 I want to be like Jesus, So lowly and so meek: For no one mark'd an angry word That ever heard him speak. Alas! I'm not like Jesus, As any one may see; O gentle Saviour, send thy grace, And make me like to thee.

I want, I want, I want to be like Jesus

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "I want to be like Jesus" in Garnered Gems In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
