Verse 1
Give me a gentle heart
Filled with meekness,
Dilligent heart like Thine
Jesus, my Lord
Humbleness and patience
A heart of compassion
In every small detail
To be like Him

Give me a contentment
In all conditions
Be it e'en humbler than
His lowly birth
Give me Thou Thy comfort
Give me also Thy help;
In every small detail
To be like Him

Give me enthusiasm
In things of Thine
Earnestness and more love
For things of heav'n
Give me more holiness
Give me hatred for sin
In every small detail
To be like Him

Verse 4
Give me a heart of faith
A hope in Thee
Give joy of salvation
In Jesus Christ
Give me a living soul
Give a crown of glory
And when I shall awake
To be like Him
