It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart

1 It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart;
He’ll always be with us, if we do our part;
There’s naught in this wide world can pleasure afford,
There’s peace and contentment in serving the Lord.


Refrain:
I love Him far better than in days of yore,
I’ll serve Him more truly than ever before;
I’ll do as He bids me, whatever the cost,
I’ll be a true soldier — I’ll die at my post.


2 And oft when I’m tempted to turn from the track,
I think of my Savior — my mind wanders back
To the place where they nailed Him on Calvary’s tree—
I hear a voice saying, I suffered for thee. [Refrain]


3 There’s a place that remembrance still brings back to me,
’Twas there I found pardon — ’twas Heaven to me;
There Jesus spoke sweetly to my weary soul,
My sins were forgiven, He made my heart whole. [Refrain]


4 How rich is the blessing the world cannot give,
I’m satisfied fully for Jesus to live;
Tho’ friends may forsake me, and trials arise,
I’m trusting in Jesus, His love never dies. [Refrain]

There shall be showers of blessing

1. There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above. 

[Chorus]
Showers of blessing,(Showers, showers of blessing)
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops 'round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead. 

2. There shall be showers of blessing--
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain. [Chorus] 

3. There shall be showers of blessing:
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come and now honor Thy word. [Chorus] 

4. There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we're confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call! [Chorus]

I Need Thee Every Hour

Author: An­nie S. Hawks, 1872

1. I need Thee every hour,

  Most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine

  Can peace afford.

Chorus

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;

  Every hour I need Thee;

Oh, bless me now, my Savior!

    I come to Thee.

2. I need Thee every hour,

  Stay Thou near by;

Temptations lose their power

  When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee every hour,

  In joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide,

  Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour,

  Teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises

  In me fulfill.

5. I need Thee every hour,

  Most Holy One;

Oh, make me Thine indeed,

  Thou blessed Son.
