A charge to keep I have
S. M.
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 fulfil;O may it all my powers engageTo 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,Assured if I my trust betrayI shall forever die.
