This hymn has a unique tune.

 

 1 

Earthly pleasures vainly call me,

   I would be like Jesus;

Nothing worldly shall enthrall me,

   I would be like Jesus.

 

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.

 

Be like Jesus, this my song,

   In the home and in the throng;

Be like Jesus, all day long!

   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.

 

Be like Jesus, this my song,

   In the home and in the throng;

Be like Jesus, all day long!

   I would be like Jesus.
