Verse 1
A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky:—
Verse 2
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfil,—
Oh! may it all my powers engage—
To do my Master’s will.
Verse 3
Arm me with jealous care,
As in thy sight to live;
And, oh! thy servant, Lord! prepare
A strict account to give.
Verse 4
Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely;
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall forever die.
