HYMN TIME – dedicated to Pastor Mark and Julie, who are truly happy in the service of the King!
IN THE SERVICE OF THE KING
1. I am happy in the service of the King,
I am happy, O so happy.
I have peace and joy that nothing else can bring,
In the service of the King.
Refrain
In the service of the King
Every talent I will bring.
I have peace and joy and blessing
In the service of the King.
2. I am happy in the service of the King,
I am happy, O so happy.
Through there sunshine and the shadow I can sing,
In the service of the King.
3. I am happy in the service of the King,
I am happy, O so happy.
To His guiding hand forever I will cling,
In the service of the King.
4. I am happy in the service of the King,
I am happy, O so happy.
All that I possess to Him I gladly bring,
In the service of the King.
Refrain
Romans 15:17 I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
