Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #LXVI (1790) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious Lyrics: 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 fulfill;
O may it all my pow'rs 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;
Assur'd, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die. Topics: Petition Languages: English
