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.

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.

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.

O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer, others to save.

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.

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.

This hymn has been with me for almost 40 years now, almost back to the very outset of my journey with Jesus.
This hymn is my heart’s cry.
For years all I could remember of it was “Stamp thine own image deep on my heart”. Oh the joy of finding it here in entirety!!!!!!
Thank You Precious Lord!!!!
Love to all!

It is a song, I constantly come back to
To be like Jesus is the destiny that God created us for- created in His image and likeness
We lost it at the garden of Eden
But Jesus came to restore that image and likeness of God
But unlike in the beginning where Adam was full grown image of God
When we believe on the Lord Jesus and His works on the cross
We terminate the image of the flesh that we carried since birth
And
The life of God enters into us but
AS A SEED
it is this seed that we must nurture through the Word and Holy Spirit so that it would grow like a Baby grows into maturity of the likeness of its parents
The truth is we have been restored into that this mage
We allow this to grow, by surrendering to the Word of God and yielding to the Holy Spirit daily

This song was carefully crafted and spiritually inspired. When we reflect the image of God in our individual lives, the world will be a little better than it is today. May God stamp his image in our lives today.

While enjoying this hymn, was thinking”how can we be like Him? How can we express Him? ” Yes, the last line of chorus says “stamp Thine own image deep on my heart. ” But how does that happen? I realize when I allow the Lord to make His home deep down in my heart, by allowing Him to rule and reign in me, when I am headed up in Him in all things great and small, His image is stamped deep on my heart! Come make Your home deep down in my heart
