Do Your Very Best Today

Author: Lanta Wilson Smith Hymnal: Praise and Promise #112 (1900) First Line: Are you looking forward to some cherished time Lyrics: 1 Are you looking forward to some cherished time, Missing daily music for some distant chime; Scorning all the present with its gifts sublime? Do your very best today. Refrain: Do your very best today, Do your very best today; Just the present moment is the golden time, Do your very best today. 2 Prize the precious moments while they’re passing by, Fill them full of loving deeds that cannot die; Win some souls for Jesus, and a home on high, Do your very best today. [Refrain] 3 Make your life a blessing time can ne’er destroy, Let some noble calling all your time employ; Then no sad regrets will mar your future joy, Do your very best today. [Refrain] 4 Grasp the golden moments, for they will not stay, Life is swiftly fading to the twilight gray; But a grand endeavor brightens all the way, Do your very best today. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Are you looking forward to some cherished time]

About 20 years ago he founded the Memorial mission which is now located at 337 West Jefferson Street, and the closing years of his life were closely knit with his mission which he served faithfully and made successful." --Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Gazette Bulletin, March 6, 1916 Green played the organ at the First Presbyterian Church in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and later moved to the Pine Street Methodist Church and became a Methodist Episcopal pastor. --www.hymntime.com/tch/
