More Like the Master
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new right spirit within me.
Psalm 51 v 10.
Charles H. Gabriel, 1906
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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
I have taken this from The Cyber Hymnal.
It always touches my heart so very much, and I hope it does the same for others too.
