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 fulfill
O 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 O Thy servant Lord prepare
A strict account to give
4
Help me to watch and pray
And on Thyself rely
Assured if I my trust betray
I shall for ever die
