Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #179 (2018) 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 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill;
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. Topics: The Assembly at Worship Offering/Stewardship of Our Lives; Ministry; Service; Stewardship Scripture: Ephesians 3:14 Languages: English Tune Title: BOYLSTON
