A charge to keep I have

1A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify; A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky.

2To serve the present age, My calling to fulfil; O may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will.

3Arm me with jealous care, As in thy sight to live; And O thy servant, Lord, prepare, A strict account to give.

4Help me to watch and pray, And on thyself rely, Assured if I my trust betray I shall forever die.
