965. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT


FIGHT the good fight with all thy might
Christ is thy strength, and Christ thy right
Lay hold on life and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally.

Run the straight race
Through God’s good grace
Lift up thine eyes and seek His face
Lift with its path before us lies
Christ is the way and Christ the prize.

Cast care aside;
Lean on thy guide
Lean, and His mercy will provide,
Lean, and the trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life and Christ its love

Faint not, nor fear;
His arms are near;
He changeth not and thou art dear;
Only believe and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee.
