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;

Life with it’s way before us lies,

Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.

 

Cast care aside, lean on thy Guide,

His boundless mercy will provide;

Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove

Christ is it’s life, and Christ it’s love.

 

Faint not in 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.

 

John S. B. Monsell, 1811-1875
