1. Earthly pleasures vainly call me,
    I would be like Jesus;
    Nothing worldly shall enthrall me,
    I would be like Jesus.
    • Refrain:
      Be like Jesus, this my song,
      In the home and in the throng;
      Be like Jesus, all day long!
      I would be like Jesus.
  2. He has broken every fetter,
    I would be like Jesus;
    That my soul may serve Him better,
    I would be like Jesus.
  3. All the way from earth to glory,
    I would be like Jesus;
    Telling o’er and o’er the story,
    I would be like Jesus.
  4. That in Heaven He may meet me,
    I would be like Jesus;
    That His words “Well done” may greet me,
    I would be like Jesus.
