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
