Singing for Jesus, our Savior and King;
Singing for Jesus, the Lord whom we love!
All adoration we joyously bring,
Longing to praise as they praise Him above!
Singing for Jesus, our Master and Friend,
Telling His love and His marvelous grace-
Love from eternity, love to the end.
Love for the loveless, the sinful, the base.
Singing for Jesus, and trying to win
Many to love Him, and join in the song,
Calling the weary and wandering in,
Rolling the chorus of gladness along.
Singing for Jesus, our Life and our Light;
Singing for Him as we press to the mark;
Singing for Him when the morning is bright;
Singing, still singing, for Him in the dark.
Singing for Jesus, our Shepherd and Guide;
Singing for gladness of heart that He gives!
Singing for wonder and praise that He died;
Singing for blessing and joy that He lives!
Singing for Jesus, oh singing with joy;
Thus will we praise Him, and tell out His love,
Till He shall call us to brighter employ,
Singing for Jesus forever above.
