Service for Christ

Bright the hours of morn­ing

when our hearts are strong;

As we toil for Je­sus

who hath loved us long;

We with joy­ful spir­its serve Him as we roam

On toward His pal­ace

each day near­er home.

Working for Je­sus

hearts full of love

Jesus is watch­ing

watch­ing above;

Waiting to help us when we are tired

Ready e’er to shield us

close by His side.

All our cheer­ful service

all our songs of praise

Be to Him who loved us

in our sin­ful days;

How we toil re­joic­ing

as His gen­tle hand

Leads His trust­ing child­ren home to fa­ther­land.

As the day advances

brighter to its close

Grows the way if ever hopes in Christ repose;

His blest word of promise

we are hold­ing fast;

He will guide and keep us

safe­ly till the last.
