A charge to keep I have,

A never dying soul to save,

And fit it for the sky.

To serve the present age,
  D7          G
My calling to ful-fill;

O may it all my pow'rs en-gage

To do my Mas-ter's will!

Arm me with jealous care,

As in Thy sight to live,

And now Thy servant, Lord, pre-pare,

A strict ac-count to give!

Assured if I my trust be-tray,
G C     F   G   G7 C
I shall for-ev -er die.
