Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #501 (1917) Lyrics: 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 fulfil;
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 O, 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 for ever die. Topics: Compassion, Divine; The Christian Life The Inner Life; Duty; Faithfulness To Daily Duty; God Compassion of ; Responsibility Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL
