Text: | A Charge to Keep I Have |
Author: | Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 |
Tune: | BOYSTON |
Composer: | Lowell Mason, 1792-1872 |
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 fulfill;
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, oh, 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.
AMEN.
