Our Best

lyricist: Salathial Kirk, 1912
Composer: Grant Tullar

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.

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.

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.
