Hymn: 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.

Chorus:
I'll 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 good soldier, I'll die at my post.

And oft when I'm tempted to turn from the track,
I think of my Savior, my mind wanders back
To the place where there nailed Him on Calvary's tree.
I heard a voice saying, "I suffered for thee."

[Chorus]

A place I remember where I was set free,
T'was where I found pardon, a heaven for me;
There Jesus spoke sweetly to my soul,
My sins are forgiven, He made my heart whole.

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus]

Will you have this blessing 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.

[Chorus]
