Lyics

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,
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 thy poor 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 forever die.
