GIVE OF YOUR BEST TO THE MASTER
Words: Howard B. Grose
Music: Charlotte A. Barnard
Give of your best to the Master;
Give of the strength of your youth;
Throw your soul¡¯s fresh, glowing ardor
Into the battle for truth.
Jesus has set the example,
Dauntless was He, young and brave;
Give Him your loyal devotion;
Give Him the best that you have.
Refrain:
Give of your best to the Master;
Give of the strength of your youth;
Clad in salvation¡¯s full armor,
Join in the battle for truth.
Give of your best to the Master;
Give Him first place in your heart;
Give Him first place in your service;
Consecrate every part.
Give, and to you will be given;
God His beloved Son gave;
Gratefully seeking to serve Him,
Give Him the best that you have.
Give of your best to the Master;
Naught else is worthy His love;
He gave Himself for your ransom,
Gave up His glory above.
Laid down His life without murmur,
You from sin¡¯s ruin to save;
Give Him your heart¡¯s adoration;
Give Him the best that you have.
