134. The Service of the King

1 Are you faithful to the work where Jesus calls you?
True and loyal in the service you would bring?
Would you brighten someone’s sky,
While the days are going by?
Are you faithful in the service of the King?

Refrain:
In the service of the King,
Blessed service of the King,
Are you faithful in the service of the King?
Would you help someone in need,
Would you do a kindly deed,
Are you faithful in the service of the King?

2 There are many darkened skies that you may brighten,
If you scatter sunshine ev’rywhere you go,
There are helpful words to say,
Sorrow’s tears to wipe away,
Oh, the deeds of love and kindness you may sow. [Refrain]

3 Oh, how swiftly are the days for service passing,
Soon the sweet songs of the homeland we shall sing,
For the souls that we have won,
We shall hear His words, “well done,”
If we’re faithful in the service of the King. [Refrain]
