Text: | A Charge to Keep I Have |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | BOYLSTON |
Composer: | Lowell Mason |
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 pow'rs engage
to do my Master's will!
3 Arm me with watchful care
as in Thy sight to live,
and now Thy servant, Lord, prepare
a strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
and still on Thee rely,
O let me not my trust betray,
but press to realms on high.
