1 To share another’s trouble,
Whatever it may be,
And make his pathway brighter,
Is joy enough for me.

Chorus:
Joy, joy, joy! ‘tis joy enough for me;
I will serve him gladly, faithfully;
Joy, joy, joy! ‘tis joy enough for me;
To do my best for Jesus,
Is joy enough for me.

2 To cheer the sad and lonely,
To lessen misery
By word or smile or handclasp,
Is joy enough for me. [Chorus]

3 To help my fallen brother
A better man to be,
To help him onward, upward,
Is joy enough for me. [Chorus]

4 To help my Savior daily
The world from son to free,
To see him smile upon me,
Is joy enough for me. [Chorus]
