O to Be Like Thee

<p>Thomas O. Chisholm's yearning for more Christlikeness gave us the words of this hymn, O to Be Like Thee. &nbsp;It was composer William J. Kirkpatrick who set the words to music to complete a hymn of longing and commitment. &nbsp;Kirkpatrick published more than one hundred collections of hymns and his love for Christ resulted in composing many popular hymns. &nbsp;Between Chisholm and Kirkpatrick, many beautiful hymns resonate in our hearts.</p> <p>Article taken from <strong>Then Sings My Soul, Volumes 1 &amp; 2</strong> by Robert J.
