IT PAYS TO SERVE JESUS
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.
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.
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 nailed Him on
Calvary's tree.
I heard a voice saying, "I suffered for thee."
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.
How rich is the blessing the world cannot
give,
I'm satisfied fully for Jesus to live;
Though friends may forsake me and trial
arise,
I am trusting Jesus, His love never dies.
There is no one like Jesus can cheer me
today.
His love and His kindness can ne'er fade
away,
In winter and summer, in sunshine and
rain,
His love and affection are always the same.
Will you have this blessing that Jesus
bestows,
A free full salvation from sin's bitter throes?
O come to the Saviour, to Calvary flee,
The fountain is opened, is flowing for thee.
