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 fulfill;
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,
And let me ne're my trust betray,
But press to realms on high.
