Refrain: More of thy likeness, dear Saviour, Less of myself I would see; Born in thine image, and growing More and more like unto thee. 2 Daily thy work was appointed, Wrought by no hand but thine own; So in my field I would labor, Tho’ it be small and unknown. [Refrain] 3 Burdens were laid on thy shoulders, Meekly thou suffered the cross; So would I take up my trials, Counting them gain and not loss. [Refrain] 4 Not for thyself, but for others, Living and dying for love; So would I daily be spending, Till shall meet thee above.

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Steps are before me, dear Saviour]" in Joyful Sound William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
