A charge to keep I have



Author: Charles Wesley



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 for ever die.
