It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart.
R.S. 457 “I know whom I have believed”. 2Tim. 1:12
1.
It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart.
He’ll always be with us, if we do our part
There’s naught in this wide world can pleasure afford
There’s peace and contentment in serving the Lord
Refrain
I love Him far better than in days of yore
I’ll serve Him more truly than ever before
I’ll do as He bids me whatever the cost
I’ll be a true soldier – I’ll die at my post
2.
And oft when I’m tempted to turn from the track
I think of my Saviour, my mind wanders back
To the place where they nail’d
Him on Calvary tree
I hear a voice saying - I suffered for thee
3.
A place I remember where I was set free
Twas where I found pardon – a heaven to me
There Jesus spoke sweetly to my weary soul
My sins were forgiven, He made my heart whole
4.
How rich is the blessing the world cannot give
I’m satisfied fully for Jesus to live
Tho’ friend may forsake me and trials arise
I am trusting in Jesus His love never dies.
5.
There is no one like Jesus can cheer me today
His love and His kindness can ne’er fade away
In winter, in summer, in sunshine and rain
His love and affection are always the same
6.
Will you have this blessings that
Jesus bestows
A free, full salvation from sin’s bitter throes?
O come to the savior, to calvary flee
The fountain is opened is flowing for thee
Amen
