Hymn 400 - More Like Jesus Would I Be

Main message: Be more like Jesus by asking Him to dwell in me.

"Peace and love" (Jude 1:2)

"Gentle as the dove" (Matthew 10:16)

"Poor in spirit" (Matthew 5:3)

  • V2. "watchful eye" (Psalm 32:8)

"The sparrows" (Matthew 10:29)

"He will teach us" (Isaiah 2:3)

"Pure in heart" (Matthew 5:8)

  • V3. "rest... tranquil waters" (Psalm 23:2)

Keywords: more like Jesus, Saviour, dwell in me, peace and love, gentle, pilgrim, poor in spirit, hear my call, teach, how to live, forgive, pure in heart, pray, rest, tranquil waters, grace, rich in faith


Interpretation notes:

  • The hymn has a smooth, chant-like melody. 

  • Occasional large leaps highlight words such as 'dwell,' 'make me,' 'Jesus, while,' 'pilgrim,' and 'Let My Saviour.' 

  • The 6/4 meter uses a long-short rhythmic pattern, supporting the text about Christ's gentle and lowly character.

"Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." – Eph. 5:19
