1 As you go onward with Jesus each day,
Make the most of your blessings;
Use them and help unto others convey,
Make the most of your blessings.

Chorus:
Make the most of your blessings,
Use them for Jesus each day;
Doing your best for the lost and opprest,
Make the most of your blessings.

2 Since they are sent to your heart from above,
Make the most of your blessings;
Use them for God in return for His love,
Make the most of your blessings. [Chorus]

3 Others to strengthen, to comfort and guide;
Make the most of your blessings;
Doing His will, walking close by His side,
Make the most of your blessings. [Chorus]
