Text: | A charge to keep I have |
Author: | Rev. Chas. Wesley |
Tune: | [A charge to keep I have] |
Composer: | A. Williams |
1 A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
2 From youth to hoary age,
My calling to fulfill:
Oh, 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 oh, Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
And on Thyself rely,
Steadfast to walk on Christ's dear way
And God to glorify.
Amen.
