1. What are you doing for the Master?
He who gave His life for you;
Is there no service you can render,
Is there naught that you can do?
Chorus:
Hide not thy talent in a napkin,
Tho’ you may have only one;
Use it in the Master’s service.
He will say to Thee “Well done!”
2. He does not want you to be idle,
While He’s in the realm above;
And to you He has surely given
At least one talent to improve.
3. It may be you can tell a story,
Tho’ you cannot sing a song;
Tell how Jesus Christ has saved you,
It will help some soul along.
4. It may be you can read the Bible,
Offer up a little prayer;
At the bedside of some sick one,
Service needed ev’rywhere.
