Lyrics

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.

I am hap­py in the ser­vice of the King.
I am hap­py, O so hap­py!
Through the sun­shine and the sha­dow I can sing,
In the ser­vice of the King.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
