His Smile Shall Be My Reward

His smile shall be my reward,
His heart shall be my own.
His burdens for the lost, now mine;
Serving my Lord alone.
Who will step forward, who will go?
Here I am, Lord, send me.
Reaching souls for Jesus
For eternity!

Chorus:
Lord, smile on me!
Lord, smile on me!
Not for man’s praise; only this:
Lord, smile on me!
(repeat)

His smile shall be my reward
I will give my all.
The fields around the world are white,
Gladly I heed the call.
If I serve in foreign land
Or on my native soil.
Always for my Jesus I will
Work and toil.

His smile shall be my reward
Oh, how I long to hear:
“Child you lived in righteous faith,
Charity, Godly fear.
These, the souls you’ve helped to win:
Treasures in heaven stored.
Well done; enter into the joy
Of your Lord!”

Opt. Tune: Love Lifted Me
