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 fulfill
O may it all my powers engage
To do my master’s will!

Arm me with jealous care
As in thy sight to live
And o 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
