A Charge to Keep I Have
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 oh, 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 forever die.
