Service For Christ

Author: J. C. Myers Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Bright the hours of morning, when our hearts are strong Refrain First Line: Working for Jesus, hearts full of love Lyrics: 1 Bright the hours of morning, when our hearts are strong; As we toil for Jesus, who hath loved us long; We with joyful spirits serve Him as we roam, On toward His palace, each day nearer home. Refrain: Working for Jesus, hearts full of love, Jesus is watching, watching above; Waiting to help us when we are tired, Ready e’er to shield us, close by His side. 2 All our cheerful service, all our songs of praise, Be to Him who loved us, in our sinful days; How we toil rejoicing, as His gentle hand Leads His trusting children home to fatherland. [Refrain] 3 As the day advances, brighter to its close Grows the way if ever hopes in Christ repose; His blest word of promise, we are holding fast; He will guide and keep us, safely till the last. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Bright the hours of morning, when our hearts are strong] Text Sources: Gospel Songs and Hymns No. 1 by George B. Holsinger (Bridgewater, VA: Brethren Publishing House, 1898)
