There is joy in the service
of the Master,
Let me sing of the glory I have found;
Since I gave all to Jesus,
and His favor gained,
Oh, wondrous streams
of joy forever abound.
Jesus, my life, and my joy evermore,
Jesus forever my heart’s deep store;
Glory to God for redeeming love,
Oh, wondrous peace of God
that flows from above.
Could you bring me the treasures
of the ocean,
Could you offer the golden stores
of earth,
I would sing, “Hallelujah,
I’ve a greater wealth:
I have my Savior’s love,
a heavenly birth.”
Jesus, my life, and my joy evermore,
Jesus forever my heart’s deep store;
Glory to God for redeeming love,
Oh, wondrous peace of God
that flows from above.
Could I soar to
the highest throne of honor,
Could I shine with
the wisdom of a sage;
All this poor,
fading glory could no thought engage,
Since Jesus is my all,
my own heritage.
Jesus, my life, and my joy evermore,
Jesus forever my heart’s deep store;
Glory to God for redeeming love,
Oh, wondrous peace of God
that flows from above.
Could I sing out the pleasure
in my bosom,
How my heart thrills
with glory in the way,
All the world would no longer
in the desert stay,
But to my Jesus come,
and even today.
Jesus, my life, and my joy evermore,
Jesus forever my heart’s deep store;
Glory to God for redeeming love,
Oh, wondrous peace of God
that flows from above.
