A Charge to Keep I Have
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,349 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 40:8 Lyrics: 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 watchful care
as in thy sight to live,
and now thy servant, Lord,
prepare a strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
and still on thee rely,
O let me not my trust betray,
but press to realms on high.

and bless his works, and bless his word;
thy works of grace, how bright they shine,
how deep thy counsels, how divine!

when grace has well refined my heart,

in that eternal world of joy. Topics: Proper 4 Year B; Proper 6 Year B; Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Used With Tune: DEEP HARMONY

Among the followers of the Lamb. Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; Christ our Pattern

Begin, my soul, some heavenly theme
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 299 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 40:10 Lyrics: 1 Begin, my soul, some heavenly theme,
Awake, my voice, and sing
The mighty works, or mightier name,
Of our eternal King.
2 Tell of his wondrous faithfulness,
And sound his power abroad,
Sing the sweet promise of his grace,
And the performing God.
3 Proclaim salvation from the Lord,
For wretched, dying men:
His hand hath writ the sacred word
With an immortal pen.
4 Engraved as in eternal brass
The mighty promise shines;
Nor can the powers of darkness 'rase
Those everlasting lines.
5 His every word of grace is strong,
As that which built the skies;
The voice that rolls the stars along,
Speaks all the promises.
6 Now shall my fainting heart rejoice,
To know thy favor sure;
I trust the all-creating voice,
And faith desires no more.
