1 Happy ev’ry moment in the love of Christ our Lord,
And the law of life for us shall be the will of God;
We will live for Jesus’ glory,
We will help to spread His story,
Help to send to ev’ry creature God’s pure word.
Chorus:
Happy ev’ry moment, Jesus is our friend,
And the weakest soul may on His love depend;
And no ill can ever harm us,
Sins of earth can never charm us,
We are safe each hour and safe ‘till life shall end.
2 Happy ev’ry moment in the service of our King,
Happy when to other lives some happiness we bring;
Happy when the cross we’re hearing,
Happy when His yoke we’re wearing,
Happy, and our gladness we today must sing. [Chorus]
3 Happy ev’ry moment tho’ the way we cannot trace,
Simply trusting Jesus we depend upon His grace;
He will lead us, safely lead us,
And His love will surely feed us
Until we in glory shall behold His face. [Chorus]
