A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify:
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.

More quotes by Charles Wesley

God buries his workmen, but carries on his work.

"Hark the herald angels sing,
Glory to the new-born king."
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!

One family — we dwell in Him,
One church above, beneath,
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

"Christ the Lord is risen to-day,"
Sons of men and angels say.
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.

Faith, mighty faith the promise sees
And rests on that alone;
Laughs at impossibilities,
And says it shall be done.
