1 A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky. MIM 52.5
2 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfil; O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master’s will. MIM 52.6
3 Arm me with jealous care,
As in thy sight to live;
And O thy servant, Lord, prepare,
A strict account to give. MIM 53.1
4 Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely,
Assured if I my trust betray
I shall forever die. MIM 53.2
