473. In the Service of the King

1 I am happy in the service of the King.
I am happy, oh, so happy;
I have peace and joy that nothing else can bring,
In the service of the King.

Chorus:
In the service of the King
Every talent I will bring;
I have peace and joy and blessing
In the service of the King.

2 I am happy in the service of the King.
I am happy, oh, so happy;
Thro' the sunshine and the shadow I can sing,
In the service of the King. (Chorus)

3 I am happy in the service of the King.
I am happy, oh, so happy;
To His guiding hand forever I will cling,
In the service of the King. (Chorus)

4 I am happy in the service of the King.
I am happy, oh, so happy;
All that I possess to Him I gladly bring,
In the service of the King. (Chorus)
