LXVI. A charge to keep I have,

1 A charge to keep I have;
A god to glorify;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky:
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill;
O may it all my pow'rs engage,
To do my master's will!

2 Arm me with jealous care
As in thy sight to live;
And O! thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give.
Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely;
Assur'd, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die.
