A charge to keep I have

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #598 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Consecration and Activity Lyrics: 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-- Oh! may it all my powers engage, To do my Master's will. 2 Arm me with jealous care, As in thy sight to live; And oh! thy servant, Lord, prepare, A strict account to give. Help me to watch and pray, And on thyself rely, Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall forever die. Scripture: Proverbs 4:23

Son of the carpenter! receive

Author: Moravian Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #602 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Consecration and Activity Lyrics: 1 Son of the carpenter! receive This humble work of mine, Worth to my meanest labor give, By joining it to thine. 2 Servant of all, to toil for man Thou wouldst not, Lord, refuse; Thy majesty did not disdain To be employed for us. 3 Thy bright example I pursue, To thee in all things rise; And all I think or speak or do Is but one sacrifice. 4 Careless through outward cares I go, From all distraction free; My hands are but engaged below, My heart is still with thee. 5 Oh! when wilt thou, my life, appear? How gladly would I cry-- 'Tis done the work thou gav'st me here, 'Tis finished, Lord! and fly. Scripture: Psalm 91:4

No: when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere his name. Scripture: Matthew 10:32-33
