GHS 85 : Give Of Your Best To The Master Lyrics
GHS 85, “Give Of Your Best To The Master,” is a stirring call to dedicated service and wholehearted consecration to God. Written by Howard Grose, the hymn challenges believers, especially the young, to bring their finest years, energy, and devotion to the Lord rather than offering what is left over after other priorities have been served. The argument of the hymn is grounded in what God Himself gave: His own Son, who laid down His life without murmur.
Against that measure of generosity, the hymn asks what kind of response is truly worthy. It is often used in youth gatherings, evangelism services, and dedication meetings. This hymn appears as number 85 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies in West Africa.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 85: Give Of Your Best To The Master
- 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.
Give of your best to the Master: Give of the strength of your youth; Clad in salvation’s full armour, Join in the battle for truth.
-
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 to you shall be given; God His beloved Son gave; Gratefully seeking to serve Him, Give Him the best that you have.
-
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.
