I am happy, O so happy!
I have peace and joy that nothing else can bring,
In the service of the King.

In the service of the King
Every talent I will bring.
I have peace and joy and blessing
In the service of the King.

I am happy, O so happy!
Through the sunshine and the shadow I can sing,
In the service of the King. [Refrain]

I am happy, O so happy!
To His guiding hand forever I will cling,
In the service of the King. [Refrain]

All that I possess to Him I gladly bring,
In the service of the King. [Refrain]
