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 Fulfil;
Oh, May It All My Powers Engage
To Do My Master’s Will!
Arm Me With Watchful Care
As In Thy Sight To Live,
And Now Thy Servant, Lord, Prepare
A Strict Account To Give!
Help Me To Watch And Pray,
And Still On Thee Rely,
Oh, Let Me Not My Trust Betray,
But Press To Realms On High.
