Give the very best to Jesus,
Bring him youth's bright, laughing hours;
Bring its song and bloom, and fragrance,
While his loving kindness showers;
Bring him deep and strong devotion,
When life gains its rounded prime;
Bring the garnered wealth of harvest,
In the quiet autumn time.
Give the very best to Jesus,
Give the very best to Jesus,
Only the best, the very best,
Give the very best to Jesus.
Give the very best to Jesus;
All the freshness of the morn,
All the day's unwearied service.
By his mighty grace upborne.
Love that hallows every duty.
Faith that in the darkness sings,
Praises from the heart outflowing,
Gold to crown him King of kings.
Give the very best to Jesus,
Give the very best to Jesus,
Only the best, the very best,
Give the very best to Jesus.
Give the very best to Jesus,
Precious gift! himself he gave!
Is there aught too good to yield him,
Since he died our souls to save?
Let us lay our dearest treasures
Humbly, gladly at his feet.
For our best will seem but little
Then we see his face so sweet.
Give the very best to Jesus,
Give the very best to Jesus,
Only the best, the very best,
Give the very best to Jesus.
