162. Give of Your Best to the Master

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 ev'ry part.
Give, and you you shall be given;
God His beloved Son gave;
Gratefully seeking to serve Him,
Give Him the best that you have. [Refrain]

2 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. [Refrain]
