Stanza 1
A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
Stanza 2
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill,
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master’s will!
Stanza 3
Arm me with jealous care
As in thy sight to live,
And oh, thy servant, Lord,
Prepare a strict account to give!
Stanza 4
Help me to watch and pray,
And on Thyself rely,
O let me not my trust betray,
I shall for ever die.
