The Christian's Life-Work. (798) A charge to keep I have, 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, -- Oh! may it all my powers engage -- To do my Master's will. 3 Arm me with jealous care, As in thy sight to live; And, oh, thy servant, Lord! prepare A strict account to give. 4 Help me to watch and pray, And on thyself rely; Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall forever die. Charles Wesley, 1762.
