Full Lyrics
VERSE 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.
CHORUS
I love Him far better than in days of yore,
I'll serve Him more truly than ever before,
I'll do what He bids me whatever the cost,
I'll be a true soldier, I'll die at my post.
VERSE 2
And oft when I'm tempted to turn from the track,
I think of my Savior, my mind wanders back
To there where they nailed Him on Calvary's tree
I hear a voice saying "I suffered for thee!"
VERSE 3
There's a place that remembrance still brings back to me,
'Twas there I found pardon, 'twas heaven to me;
There Jesus spoke sweetly to my weary soul,
My sins were forgiven, He made my heart whole.
VERSE 4
How rich is the blessing the world cannot give,
I'm satisfied fully for Jesus to live,
Tho' friends may forsake me and trials arise,
I'm trusting in Jesus, His love never dies.
VERSE 5
There's 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.
VERSE 6
Will you have this blessing that Jesus bestows,
A full, free salvation as ev'ry one knows?
O sinner, poor sinner, to Calvary flee,
The blood of my Savior was shed there for thee.
