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;

Life with its way before thee 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 its life and Christ its love.

John Monsell
