1. I am happy in the service of the King, I am happy, oh, 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, Ev’ry talent I will bring; I have peace and joy and blessing In the service of the King.
2. I am happy in the service of the King, I am happy, oh, so happy; Thro’ the sunshine and the shadow I can sing, In the service of the King.
3. I am happy in the service of the King, I am happy, oh, so happy; To His guiding hand forever I will cling, In the service of the King.
4. I am happy in the service of the King, I am happy, oh, so happy; All that I possess to Him I gladly bring, In the service of the King.
