O to Be Like Thee

Description

Thomas O. Chisholm's yearning for more Christlikeness gave us the words of this hymn, O to Be Like Thee. It was composer William J. Kirkpatrick who set the words to music to complete a hymn of longing and commitment. Kirkpatrick published more than one hundred collections of hymns and his love for Christ resulted in composing many popular hymns. Between Chisholm and Kirkpatrick, many beautiful hymns resonate in our hearts. Article taken from Then Sings My Soul, Volumes 1 & 2 by Robert J. Morgan. Copyright © 2003 by Robert J. Morgan.
