Author: Frank C. Huston, 1870-1954 Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #289 (1977) First Line: The service of Jesus true pleasure affords Refrain First Line: It pays to serve Jesus, it pays ev'ry day Lyrics: 1 The service of Jesus true pleasure affords,
In Him there is joy without an alloy;
’Tis heaven to trust Him and rest on His words;
It pays to serve Jesus each day.
Refrain:
It pays to serve Jesus, it pays ev'ry day,
It pays ev'ry step of the way;
Tho' the pathway to glory may sometimes be drear,
You’ll be happy each step of the way.
2 It pays to serve Jesus whate’er may betide,
It pays to be true whate’er you may do;
’Tis riches of mercy in Him to abide;
It pays to serve Jesus each day. [Refrain]
3 Tho' sometimes the shadows may hang o’er the way,
And sorrows may come to beckon us home,
Our precious Redeemer each toil will repay;
It pays to serve Jesus each day. [Refrain]
