A Charge To Keep I Have

A charge to keep I have

A God to glorify

A never dying soul to save

And fit it for the sky

To serve the present age

My calling to fulfill

O may it all my powers engage

To do my master’s will!

Arm me with jealous care

As in thy sight to live

And o thy servant, Lord, prepare

A strict account to give!

Help me to watch and pray

And on thyself rely

Assured, if I my trust betray

I shall for ever die
