Text: | A Charge to Keep I Have |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | BOYLSTON |
Composer: | Lowell Mason |
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,
And let me ne'er my trust betray,
But press to realms on high.
Amen.
