A charge to keep I have

A god to glorify

Let every dying soul to save

And fit it for the sky

To serve the present age

My calling to fulfill

And may it all my pow'rs engage

To do my master's will

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

I face

Assured I leave lonely

For I shall forever die
