Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788; Richard Howard, 1929- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #537 (2013) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have,
a God to glorify,
a stewardship for life to hold,
a call to magnify.
2 Arm me with jealous care
as in thy sight to live,
and, oh, thy servant, Lord, prepare,
a strict account to give!
3 Help me to watch and pray,
and in thy grace believe;
assured, forgiven, reconciled,
thy boundless love receive.
4 To serve the present age,
my calling to fulfill;
oh, may it all my powers engage
to do my Master's will!
