14801. Living For Jesus

1 When the morning breaks bright and fair,
And the sky its blue robe doth wear,
Then my voice will I lift in prayer,
Seeking God’s tender love and care.

Refrain:
Oh, that will be glorious!
Oh, that will be glorious!
Living for Jesus thro’ all my days,
And then in Heaven His name to praise.

2 Every moment my soul would sing
Praise to Jesus, my Lord and king;
I would make the glad chorus ring,
For His love gives me everything. [Refrain]

3 God will help me each day to do
All things noble and good and true;
If I love Him my whole life through,
He will keep till earth fades from view. [Refrain]
