| Text: | A charge to keep I have |
| Author: | Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 |
| Tune: | GALWAY |
| Composer: | Edward Miller, 1735-1807 |
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 watchful care,
as in thy sight to live;
and, O, thy servant, Lord, prepare
a good 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.
