O.J. Smith
THERE is joy in serving Jesus,
As I journey on my way,
Joy that fills the heart with praises,
Every hour and every day.
There is joy, joy, joy in serving Jesus,
Joy that throbs within my heart;
Every moment, every hour;
As I draw upon his power;
There is joy, joy, joy that never shall depart.
2
There is joy in serving Jesus,
Joy that triumphs over pain;
Fills my soul with heaven’s music,
Til I join the glad refrain.
3
There is joy in serving Jesus,
As I walk alone with God;
‘Tis the joy of Christ, my Savior,
Who the path of suffering trod.
4
There is joy in serving Jesus,
Joy amid the darkest night,
For I’ve learned the wondrous secret,
And I’m walking in the light.
