192. For Jesus

1 We want to live for Jesus,
A life of service true,
And try to show his glory
In every thing we do.

Chorus:
We want to live for Jesus,
His children we would be;
We love to sing his praises,
For his loyal ones are we.

2 We want to work for Jesus,
Because he loved us so;
We want to do his pleasure,
In all our life below.

Chorus:
We want to work for Jesus,
His children we would be;
We love to sing his praises,
For his loyal ones are we.

3 We want to die in Jesus,
When all our work is o'er,
And go to live forever,
On heaven's shining shore.

Chorus:
We want to die for Jesus,
His children we would be;
We love to sing his praises,
For his loyal ones are we.
