Sheet music
- 1The service of Jesus true pleasure affords,In Him there is joy without an alloy;‘Tis heaven to trust Him and rest on His words;It pays to serve Jesus each day.It pays to serve Jesus, it pays ev’ry day,It pays ev’ry step of the way;(ev’ry step of the way;)Tho’ the pathway to glory may sometimes be drear,You’ll be happy each step of the way.
- 2It pays to serve Jesus whate’er may betide,It pays to be true whate’er you may do;‘Tis riches of mercy in Him to abide;It pays to serve Jesus each day.It pays to serve Jesus, it pays ev’ry day,It pays ev’ry step of the way;(ev’ry step of the way;)Tho’ the pathway to glory may sometimes be drear,You’ll be happy each step of the way.
- 3Tho’ sometimes the shadows may hang o’er the way,And sorrows may come to beckon us home,Our precious Redeemer each toil will repay;It pays to serve Jesus each day.It pays to serve Jesus, it pays ev’ry day,It pays ev’ry step of the way;(ev’ry step of the way;)Tho’ the pathway to glory may sometimes be drear,You’ll be happy each step of the way.
