508. A charge to keep I have

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 watchful care,
as in thy sight to live;
and, O, thy servant, Lord, prepare
a good account to give.

4 Help me to watch and pray,
and on thyself rely;
and let me ne'er my trust betray,
but press to realms on high.
