A Charge to keep I have

Charles Wesley
(1708 - 1788)

Cambridge

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