132. 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.

Refrain:
In the service of the King
Ev'ry 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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
