A Charge To Keep I Have (Words & Music by Charles Wesley; Perf. by Arthur Slater)
From the Album Here I Stand, Elders’ Wisdom, Children’s Song
Representative Text
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 pow’rs engage
to do my Master’s will!
Arm me with watchful care
as in Thy sight to live,
and now Thy servant, Lord, prepare
a strict account to give!
Help me to watch and pray,
and still on Thee rely,
O let me not my trust betray,
but press to realms on high.
