More Like the Master

More like the Mas­ter I would ev­er be

More of His meek­ness

more hu­mil­ity;

More zeal to la­bor

more cour­age to be true

More con­se­cra­tion for work He bids me do.

Take Thou my heart

I would be Thine alone;

Take Thou my heart

and make it all Thine own.

Purge me from sin

O Lord

I now im­plore

Wash me and keep me Thine for­ev­er­more.

More like the Mas­ter is my dai­ly pray­er;

More strength to car­ry cross­es I must bear;

More ear­nest ef­fort to bring His king­dom in;

More of His Spir­it

the wan­der­er to win.

More like the Mas­ter I would live and grow;

More of His love to oth­ers I would show;

More self de­ni­al

like His in Ga­li­lee

More like the Mas­ter I long to ev­er be.
