The Excelsior Hymnal ‎#263

263. Do Your Best

1 “Do your best,” the birds are singing,
Trilling forth a perfect lay.
Children too, like them should always
Do their best, from day to day.

2 Do your best, the flow’rs are growing
Sweet and lovely, ‘round our way,
Children too, like them, should always
Do their best, from day to day.

3 Do your best, the sun is shining
Cheering with each warming ray;
Children too, like that, should always
Do their best, from day to day.

4 Do your best, from morn till even,
Then when we kneel down to pray,
Ask our God to help us always
Do our best, from day to day.
