“O can I, may I, hope to be
Like Jesus up in heaven?”
“Yes—ah! that honor, great indeed
Can to a child be given.”
“And how, O tell me, could I be
Like Jesus, up in heaven?”
“By trusting to His precious blood,
Through which all sin’s forgiven.”
“And O you’ll be a happy child,
When sin has been forgiven;
But happier far when you shall be
Like Jesus up in heaven.”
