A Charge to Keep I Have 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 O may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will! Arm me with jealous care As in thy sight to live And o 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.
