Author: Ida L. Reed Hymnal: Songs of Christian Service #87 (1903) First Line: In the service of the Master Refrain First Line: O, there's glory, glory, glory Lyrics: 1 In the service of the Master, There is joy, and peace, and rest, As we follow where he leads us, E’er obeying his behest. O there’s glory, glory, glory, Growing brighter every day. As we strive to serve him truly, In his own appointed way. Refrain: O there’s glory, glory, glory, Growing brighter every day, As we strive to service him truly, In his own appointed way. 2 Onward then with joy we’re pressing At his holy, blessed will, And his love our hand will strengthen, Every duty to fulfill. All the heav’nward path is shining With the glory of his love, As our feet are upward climbing Toward his kingdom fair above. [Refrain] 3 Oh, we’re happy in his service, As the days are gliding by, And his holy presence cheers us, He is ever, ever nigh. And when love’s sweet labor’s ended, He will call us home to rest In the bright eternal mansions In the “City of the Blest.” [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [In the service of the Master]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Composer of "[In the service of the Master]" in Songs of Christian Service Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912).
