"Have I Done Any Good?" is a hymn of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints written by Will Lamartine Thompson (1847–1909), number 223 in Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The hymnal (text) was matched to the music for a popular tune "East Liverpool".Calvin University It has been called "introspective" in tone, and a "popular hymn" that can be used to inspire discussion about the effectiveness of Church missions.
In the 1985 revision of the hymnal, the only change directed by Church authorities came from Apostle Boyd K. Packer: to make this hymn read "Only he who does something helps others to live/To God each good work will be known", instead of "Only he who does something is worthy to live/The world has no use for a drone".
