Lyrics:

I shall never forget the day
Jesus washed my sins away
makes me happy, o so happy
since his voice I've heard
says he took my by the hands
and took me to gloryland
that makes me happy
Lord so happy in the service of the Lord

well can't you see that I'm happy
in God's service
Jesus is my captain
I'm standing on his world
my friend? saved me
Jesus tell me
that makes me happy in the service of the Lord

since he came into my heart
all my sorrows did depart
makes me happy, o so happy
since his voice I've heard
since he came into my soul
waves of joy like ... roll
that makes me happy, Lord so happy
in the service of the lord

well can't you see that I'm happy
in God's service
Jesus is my captain
I'm standing on his world
my friend? saved me (or something for forsake)
Jesus tell me
that makes me happy in the service of the Lord
