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,
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall forever die.
