GRH 455 A Charge to Keep I Have

(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;
O may it all my pow’rs 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,
And let me ne’er my trust betray,
But press to realms on high.
