Author: Rev. Chas. Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #501 (1894) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 From youth to hoary age,
My calling to fulfill:
Oh, 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 oh, Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
And on Thyself rely,
Steadfast to walk on Christ's dear way
And God to glorify.
Amen. Topics: Watchfulness Languages: English Tune Title: [A charge to keep I have]
