Hymns of the Kingdom ‎#89

89. Blessing in Service

1 Come and join the happy band,
Marching to the promised land,
Where our Father has His home beyond the sky;
‘Neath His banner wide unfurled,
Come and help Him win the word,
That they, too, may share His glories far on high.

Refrain:
There is blessing, there is blessing,
There is blessing in the service of the Lord.
Only those who love Him know
All the joy He will bestow;
Oh, there’s blessing in the service of the Lord.

2 Idle not the hours away,
Haste our Leader to obey,
True and faithful—do a strong and earnest part;
Any kindness you can show,
Anywhere He bids you go,
Serve Him ever with a loyal, loving heart. [Refrain]

3 He has work for you alone,
And His grace shall be made known,
Giving pow’r to all you are, or do, or say;
There is wonderful reward
In the service of the Lord—
Then be ready in His service day by day. [Refrain]
