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.

“In the Service Of The King” was written by two brothers.   Alfred Henry Ackley (January 21, 1887 – July 3, 1960) who wrote the Easter song “He Lives”and the words of this hymn.  Bentley DeForest Ackley (September 27, 1872 – September 3, 1958) who wrote over 3000 Gospel tunes. Both born in Spring Hill, Pennsylvania

If you are presently using your talent and spiritual gifts for God then I am sure “You Are Happy In The Service Of Our KING!”
