THE JOY OF SERVICE, by

Last Line: That sorrows flee away.
Subject(s): Happiness; Singing & Singers; Joy; Delight; Songs


My heart is ever singing,
For it is filled with love
That comes from the inflowing
From Heaven's founts above.
My soul is ever giving,
From out the spirit's store—
In giving and in loving
God blesses more and more.

For when God's Holy Spirit
Within the heart doth dwell,
The heart is overflowing
Beyond what lips can tell.
And when the love of Jesus
Is felt in soul and heart,
The whisperings of Satan
Forever will depart.

My soul is ever seeking
And finding more and more,
Is finding and is giving
From an exhaustless store.
The service of the Master
Lends new joy every day,
'Tis only in His service
That sorrows flee away.
