Lyrics

Hear ye the Mas­ter’s call, Give Me thy best!
For, be it great or small, that is His test.
Do then the best you can, not for re­ward,
Not for the praise of men, but for the Lord.

Refrain

Every work for Je­sus will be blest,
But He asks from ev­ery­one his best.
Our ta­lents may be few, these may be small,
But un­to Him is due our best, our all.

Wait not for men to laud, heed not their slight;
Winning the smile of God brings its de­light!
Aiding the good and true ne’er goes un­blest,
All that we think or do, be it the best.

Refrain

Night soon comes on apace, day hast­ens by;
Workman and work must face test­ing on high.
Oh, may we in that day find rest, sweet rest,
Which God has pro­mised those who do their best.
