I've Tried To Do My Best

Author: Katharyn Bacon Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #722 First Line: Thro’ all the long and lonely years Refrain First Line: I’ve always tried to do my best Lyrics: 1 Thro’ all the long and lonely years, My sight oft dimmed with bitter tears, Despite my care, my doubts and fears, I’ve always tried to do my best. Refrain: I’ve always tried to do my best, And heeded not the world’s renown; When life is o’er, with all the blest, I’ll wear in Heav’n a starry crown. 2 My efforts often seem in vain, And thoughtless ones know not my pain, But mine shall be a heav’nly gain, I’ve always tried to do my best. [Refrain] 3 I’ve labored on for truth and right, And watched and prayed both day and night, With Jesus as my guiding light, I’ve always tried to do my best. [Refrain] 4 I’m safe in Christ whate’er betide, For naught can tempt me from His side, And soon I’ll join the glorified, I’ve always tried to do my best. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Thro’ all the long and lonely years]
