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