A charge to keep I have
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #501 (1917) Topics: Duty; Faithfulness To Daily Duty Lyrics: 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;
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL

Today, While the Sun Shines
Author: L. Clark Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #229 (1985) Meter: Irregular Topics: Duty First Line: Today, while the sun shines, work with a will Refrain First Line: Today, today, work with a will Lyrics: 1. Today, while the sun shines, work with a will;
Today all your duties with patience fulfill.
Today, while the birds sing, harbor no care;
Call life a good gift; call the world fair.
[Chorus:]
Today, today, work with a will;
Today, today, your duties fulfill.
Today, today, work while you may;
Prepare for tomorrow by working today.
2. Today seek the treasure better than gold,
The peace and the joy that are found in the fold.
Today seek the gems that shine in the heart;
While here we labor, choose the better part. [Chorus]
3. Today seek for goodness, virtue, and truth,
As crown of your life and the grace of your youth.
Today, while the heart beats, live to be true,
Constant and faithful all the way through. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: CONSTANT

Psalm 15
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.29 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Duty to God and man; Relative duties First Line: Who shall inhabit in thy hill Lyrics:
Who shall inhabit in thy hill,
O God of holiness?
Whom will the Lord admit to dwell
So near his throne of grace?
The man that walks in pious ways,
And works with righteous hands;
That trusts his Maker's promises,
And follows his commands.
He speaks the meaning of his heart,
Nor slanders with his tongue;
Will scarce believe an ill report,
Nor do his neighbor wrong.
The wealthy sinner he contemns,
Loves all that fear the Lord;
And though to his own hurt he swears,
Still he performs his word.
His hands disdain a golden bribe,
And never gripe the poor:
This man shall dwell with God on earth,
And find his heav'n secure.

Psalm 15
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.30 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Duty to God and man; Relative duties First Line: Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place Lyrics:
Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place,
Great God, and dwell before thy face?
The man that minds religion now,
And humbly walks with God below;
Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean,
Whose lips still speak the thing they mean;
No slanders dwell upon his tongue;
He hates to do his neighbor wrong.
[Scarce will he trust an ill report,
Nor vents it to his neighbor's hurt:
Sinners of state he can despise,
But saints are honored in his eyes.]
[Firm to his word he ever stood,
And always makes his promise good;
Nor dares to change the thing he swears,
Whatever pain or loss he bears.]
[He never deals in bribing gold,
And mourns that justice should be sold;
While others gripe and grind the poor,
Sweet charity attends his door.]
He loves his enemies, and prays
For those that curse him to his face
And doth to all men still the same
That he would hope or wish from them.
Yet, when his holiest works are done,
His soul depends on grace alone:
This is the man thy face shall see,
And dwell for ever, Lord, with thee.

Give me, O Lord, a spirit lowly
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a327 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Daily Duty Lyrics: 1 Give me, O Lord, a spirit lowly,
That seeks to praise Thy name alone;
Let faith make all my conduct holy,
And love in all my life be shown:
Tame Thou whate'er in me is wild,
And own me always as Thy child.
2 Let me not aim beyond my measure,
But in my place be still content;
To do Thy will be all my pleasure,
For this let all my life be spent;
And if my duties lowly be,
Let this suffice,--they honor Thee! Languages: English

And made my duties plain,
Grant for my work a ready mind,
My wayward thoughts restrain.

My daily task pursue:
Thy glory be my only aim
In all I think and do.

In all my calling be,
And let me as Thy servant still
Be faithful found to Thee.
4 Thy goodness all my life has crowned,
And all my wants supplied;
O let that goodness still aboud,
And daily bread provide.
5 Be Thou my guide in all my ways;
From every ill defend;
And may my songs of daily praise
In grateful joy ascend.
6 May I in faith still stronger grow,
While here I toil in love;
And when my work is done below,
Give me sweet rest above. Languages: English

Responsibility of Civil Officers
Hymnal: The Psalter #223 (1912) Topics: The Poor Duty Towards; Rulers Duties of First Line: Where'er His creatures gather Lyrics: 1 Where'er His creatures gather
The unseen God is near;
Let rulers fear their Ruler,
Their Judge let judges fear.
How long, ye earthly judges,
Will ye pervert the right?
How long shall wicked persons
Have favor in your sight?
2 Do justice for the helpless,
The orphan's cause maintain;
Defend the poor and needy,
Oppressed and wronged for gain.
When rulers walk in darkness,
When judges truth forsake,
The cornerstones are crumbled,
The firm foundations shake.
3 The Most High God has called you
And set you up on high,
But ye to Him must answer,
For ye like men must die.
Arise, O God Eternal,
Thou Judge of all the earth,
Thro' all Thy ransomed nations
Send now Thy justice forth. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English Tune Title: ALGIERS
