A CHARGE to keep I have,
By A Collection of Hymns

      S.M. Leviticus viii.35
      1 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:
      O may it all my powers engage
      To do my Master's will!

      2 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.
