Today's hymn is taken from the Methodist hymn book numbered 578
it tells us of an assignment we have have even as Christians and not mere men. The men of old sang these song to constantly remind themselves of their purpose and duties here on earth

1-2. 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 powers engage
To do my Master's(God's) will

3&4. 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 to Thyself rely
Assured, If I my trust betray
I shall forever die
