Text: | A charge to keep I have |
Author: | Rev. Charles Wesley |
1 A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky;
2 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfil,--
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will.
3 Arm me with jealous care,
As in Thy sight to live;
And O, Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give.
4 Help me to watch and pray,
And on Thyself rely,
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die.
Amen.
