A beautiful hymn inspired by President David O. McKay’s often used quote: “What e’re thou art, act well thy part.”  Text by Michael Young below.

Watch on YouTube: Act Well Thy Part

1. What e’re thou art
Act well thy part
Wherever you may be.

What e’re thou art
Fufill thy part
With perfect charity.

There is no role so lowly
That it escapes God’s gaze
All people are important
That walk in holy ways.

What e’re thou art
Act well thy part
With a full and loving heart.

2. What e’re thou art
Act well thy part
Whate’er the time of day.

What e’re thou art
Fulfill thy part
And do not shy away.

There is no deed so tiny
It cannot lift a soul
No service is unneeded
As we seek a heavenly goal.

What e’re thou art
Act well thy part
With a full and loving heart.

3. What e’re thou art
Act well thy part
Though years may fly from you

What e’re thou art
Fulfill thy part
Though pain you must pass through.

There is no tear uncounted
There is no sigh unheard
There is no wound so deep
That it withstands His word.

What e’re thou art
Act well thy part
With a full and loving heart.
