1 O it is sweet to serve my Lord,
And while I serve to sing,
To offer him my loving toil,
And grateful praises bring.
Refrain:
Serving and singing all the day
Serving and singing all the way,
Serving and singing with hearty goodwill,
Serving and singing for Jesus.
2 To serve the Lord and sing his praise,
Makes ev’ry duty joy
‘Tis thus the saints in heav’n above
Engage in blest employ. [Refrain]
3 I could not, sing except I serve,
Nor serve except I sing,
With happy heart and cheerful voice
I would my tribute bring. [Refrain]
4 When toil and song join hand in hand
In loving sympathy,
Then Christ is honored by his Church
As honored he should be. [Refrain]
5 Lord let my service e’er be thine,
And worthy of my king,
And while my hands are busy Lord,
Tune thou my lips to sing. [Refrain]
