Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,378 hymnals Topics: The Assembly at Worship Offering/Stewardship of Our Lives Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have,

A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.

Oh, 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,
Oh, let me not my trust betray,
But press to realms on high. Scripture: Ephesians 3:14 Used With Tune: BOYLSTON
A Charge to Keep I Have
Shout, for the Blessed Jesus Reigns
Author: Rev. Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Offerings Lyrics: 1 Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns;
Through distant lands His triumphs spread;
And sinners, freed from endless pains,
Own Him their Savior and their Head.
2 He calls His chosen from afar,
They all at Zion’s gates arrive;
Those who were dead in sin before
By sovereign grace are made alive.
3 Gentiles and Jews His laws obey;
Nations remote their offerings bring,
And unconstrained their homage pay
To their exalted God and king.
4 O may His holy Church increase,
His Word and Spirit still prevail,
While angels celebrate His praise,
And saints His growing glories hail.
5 Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb,
From all below, and all above!
In lofty songs exalt His Name,
In songs as lasting as His love.

Before him bend the knee;

Salvation, peace, and love,
True joy on earth below,
A home in heav'n above.
2 Come to the Saviour now,
Ye who have wandered far;
Renew your solemn vow,
For his by right you are;
Come, like poor wand'ring sheep
Returning to his fold;
His arm will safely keep,
His love will ne'er grow cold.
3 Come to the Saviour, all,
Whate'er your burdens be;
Hear now his loving call,
"Cast all your care on me."
Come, and for ev'ry grief
In Jesus you will find
A sure and safe relief,
A loving Friend and kind.

And sing of salvation for ever and ever!

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 540 hymnals Topics: The Gospel: Atonement Offered; Atonement Offered; Atonement Offered First Line: Sinners, turn, why will ye die? Lyrics: 1 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, your Maker, asks you Why?
God, who did your being give,
Made you with himself to live;
He the fatal cause demands,
Asks the work of his own hands,
Why, ye thankless creatures, why
Will ye cross his love, and die?
2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, your Saviour, asks you Why?
He who did your souls retrieve,
Died himself that ye might live.
Will ye let him die in vain?
Crucify your Lord again?
Why, ye ransomed sinners, why
Will ye slight his grace, and die?
3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, the Spirit, asks you Why?
He, who all your lives hath strove,
Urged you to embrace his love:
Will ye not his grace receive?
Will ye still refuse to live?
Why, ye long-sought sinners! why,
Will ye grieve your God, and die? Used With Tune: MARTYN

and prove your good and perfect will.

whose eyes my inmost secrets view,
and labor on at your command
and offer all my work to you.

in every moment watch and pray,
and still to things eternal look
and hasten to that glorious day.

all that your bounteous grace has given,
and run my earthly course with joy,
and closely walk with you to heaven.
Amen.
