I Would Be Like Jesus WARD—Lowell Mason QUEM PASTORES LAUDAVERE—German carol melody, 14th century (arr. Ralph Vaughan Williams) I Would Be Like Jesus 1 Earthly pleasures vainly call me, I would be like Jesus; Nothing worldly shall enthrall me, I would be like Jesus. Chorus 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 ev’ry fetter, I would be like Jesus; That my soul may serve Him better, I would be like Jesus.
