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,
And let me ne'er my trust betray,
But press to realms on high.
