Living for Jesus (Weigle)

Living for Jesus—O what peace!
Rivers of pleasure never cease.
Trials may come, yet I’ll not fear.
Living for Jesus, He is near.

Refrain

Help me to serve Thee more and more.
Help me to praise Thee o’er and o’er;
Live in Thy presence day by day,
Never to turn from Thee away.

Living for Jesus—O what rest!
Pleasing my Savior, I am blest.
Only to live for Him alone,
Doing His will till life is done!

Refrain

Living for Jesus everywhere,
All of my burden He doth bear.
Friends may forsake me; He’ll be true.
Trusting in Him, He’ll guide me through.

Refrain

Living for Jesus till at last
Into His glory I have passed;
There to behold Him on His throne,
Hear from His lips, “My child, well done!”

Refrain

Author: C. F. Weigle

Year: 1915

The subtitle "(Weigle)" in the title directly points to the author of both words and music, Charles Frederick Weigle (1871–1966). This matches the well-known gospel song first published around 1915.
