1 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.
2 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 shall be given-
God His beloved Son gave;
give Him your heart's adoration,
give HIm the best that you have. [Refrain]
3 Give of your best to the Master,
nought 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. [Refrain]
