Author: Frances J. Hallgreen Hymnal: Carols of Hope #158 (1906) First Line: I would be more like Jesus Refrain First Line: So I'll watch and I'll labor Lyrics: 1. I would be more like Jesus
Every day;
I would be true and faithful
All the way;
I would know what to sing and
What to say,
I would know how to listen
How to pray.
Chorus:
So I'll watch and I'll labor
And I'll pray;
By his grace I will follow
All the way;
Then with joy I shall meet him
Trials o'er
And with him reign forever,
Evermore.
2. I would be kind and gentle,
Meek and mild;
I would be pure and loving
His dear child;
I would do good to others,
As he did;
I would shed joy and sunshine,
In him hid. [Chorus]
3. I would work in his vineyard
Every day;
Patient, trusting, obedient,
Come what may;
I would go where he leads me,
By his grace,
Till in glory I see him
Face to face. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [I would be more like Jesus]
