Lyrics

Living for Je­sus—O what peace!
Rivers of plea­sure ne­ver cease.
Trials may come, yet I’ll not fear.
Living for Je­sus, He is near.

Refrain

Help me to serve Thee more and more.
Help me to praise Thee o’er and o’er;
Live in Thy pre­sence day by day,
Never to turn from Thee away.

Living for Je­sus—O what rest!
Pleasing my Sav­ior, I am blest.
Only to live for Him alone,
Doing His will till life is done!

Refrain

Living for Je­sus ev­ery­where,
All of my bur­den He doth bear.
Friends may for­sake me; He’ll be true.
Trusting in Him, He’ll guide me through.

Refrain

Living for Je­sus till at last
Into His glo­ry I have passed;
There to be­hold Him on His throne,
Hear from His lips, My child, well done!
