594. Give of Your Best

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.
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 now ev'ry part.
Give and to you shall 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;
Give of the strength of your youth,
Clad in salvation's full armor,
Join in the battle for truth.

3 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.
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.
