1 Tho’ skies are bright and friends are near,
I’m happiest when serving Jesus,
For He has given these pleasures dear,
I’m happiest when serving Jesus.

Refrain:
Oh, joy so sweet,
That comes from serving Jesus;
Oh, joy complete,
I’m happiest when serving Jesus.

2 When earthly pleasures lose their charm,
I’m happiest when serving Jesus;
His love will shield me from all harm,
I’m happiest when serving Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ waves of sorrow round me roll,
I’m happiest when serving Jesus;
Oh, blessed joy that fills my soul,
I’m happiest when serving Jesus. [Refrain]
