In the service of my King.

                        In the service of my King,

                                2
                   I am happy in the service of the Lord,
                        Very joyful in his service;
                  On this day I will devote my gifts to God,

                    In my battles I'll never lack bravery,

                                4

               In the dark nights He's Good Shepherd to my soul,

                       1 P s:r.-·eATT[Ei l'/e~··1-r16 HOPE
              I am a pilgrim here, in this Earth filled with sadness,
                    I have no place, where I might dwell,
                           I need to fight;
                  So that I may rejoice with Jesus my King,
                   My soul will grieve, so in the end I'll win.
                             CHORUS
                 A crown of pearls awaits me in the heavens,
                  //And if I'm true, I know it will be mine//
                                2
               When sorrow sickens me, comfort I'll find in Jesus,
             That makes me love Him more and more, I'll suffer here;
                    So that I may rejoice, and I will fight,
                And in the end I'll triumph with Christ my King.
                                3
             In the realm of His light, where there will be no sorrow,

                               THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD HYMNAL•  43 7
