A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
2 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill;
O may it all my pow'rs engage
To do my Master's will!
3 Arm me with jealous care
As in Thy sight to live,
And now Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
And still on Thee rely,
O let me not my trust betray,
But press to realms on high.
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; Commitment and Consecration; Discipleship; Loyalty and Courage; Stewardship and Service; Temptation Used With Tune: BOYLSTON
