A charge to keep I have
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Together in Song #573 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Commissioning Service Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have,
a God to glorify,
a never-dying soul to save,
made fit for God on high:
2 to serve the present age,
my calling to fulfil:
O may it all my powers engage
to do my Master's will!
3 Arm me with zealous care,
as in your sight to live;
and O your servant, Lord, prepare
a strict account to give.
4 Help me to watch and pray,
and on yourself rely,
so shall I not my trust betray,
nor shall I ever die. Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:8-10 Languages: English Tune Title: CAMBRIDGE

I bind unto myself today
Author: St. Patrick of Ireland, 372-466; Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #576 (1997) Meter: Irregular Topics: Ordination / Commissioning Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three-in-One, and One-in-Three.
2 I bind today to me forever
by power of faith, Christ's incarnation–
his baptism in the Jordan river,
his death on Cross for my salvation;
his bursting from the spiced tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
God's eye to watch, God's might to stay,
God's ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
God's hand to guide, God's shield to ward;
the word of God to give me speech,
the heavenly host to be my guard.
5 Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three-in-One, and One-in-Three,
of whom all nature hath creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PATRICK, DIERDRE
I bind unto myself today

in humble hope our charge resign:

in you we rest, O Love divine.

and sink the mountain to a plain;
give me the childlike praying love,
which longs to build thy house again;
thy love, let it my heart o'er-power,
and all my simple soul devour.
2 I would the precious time redeem,
and longer live for this alone,
to spend and to be spent for them
who have not yet my Saviour known;
fully on these my mission prove,
and only breathe, to breathe thy love.
3 My talents, gifts and graces, Lord,
into thy blessed hands receive,
and let me live to preach thy word,
and let me to thy glory live;
my every sacred moment spend
in publishing the sinner's Friend.
4 Enlarge, inflame and fill my heart
with boundless charity divine,
so shall I all my strength exert,
and love them with a zeal like thine,
and lead them to thy open side,
the sheep for whom the Shepherd died. Scripture: Psalm 69:9 Languages: English Tune Title: COLCHESTER
