Author: H. W. Vom B. Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Lord, I long to be like Jesus Refrain First Line: Keep me true, Lord, keep me true Lyrics: 1 Lord, I long to be like Jesus, Ever loving, kind and true; That my life may speak His praises, Keep me true, Lord, keep me true. Refrain: Keep me true, Lord, keep me true; Keep me true, Lord, true to you; May all I say or strive to do, Prove, dear Lord, I’m true to you. 2 Satan laughs at all thy comrades, When he sees them tire, or fall; He would never have the privilege, Were they true, Lord, to Thy call.

[Refrain] 4 When I reach the gates of glory, Far beyond life’s stormy sea, May I hear Thee, in Thy welcome, Say, “Come, if I’ve proven thee.” [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Lord, I long to be like Jesus]
