Fight the Good Fight
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 483 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:12 First Line: Fight the good fight with all thy might Lyrics: 1 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.
2 Run the straight race through God’s good grace,
Lift up thine eyes, and seek Christ's face;
Life with its way before us lies,
Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.
3 Cast care aside, lean on thy guide;
God's boundless mercy will provide;
Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.
4 Faint not nor fear, God's arms are near;
God changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee.

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Author: Walter Chambers Smith Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 210 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6 Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, your great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
nor wanting nor wasting, you rule day and night;
your justice like mountains high soaring above,
your clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 Life-giving Creator of both great and small,
of all life the maker, the true life of all;
we blossom, then wither like leaves on the tree,
but you are forever, who was and will be.
4 We worship before you, great Father of light,
while angels adore you, all veiling their sight;
our praises we render, O Father, to you,
whom only the splendor of light hides from view.

By kindly deeds and virtuous life.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,940 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:12 First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
a follower of the Lamb,
and shall I fear to own his cause,
or blush to speak his name?

on flowery beds of ease,
while others fought to win the prize,
and sailed through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
to help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
increase my courage, Lord.
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
supported by thy word.

Author: Joachim Neander; Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.7 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:17 Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded,
who does still my trust renew.
Safe through change and chance God guides me,

God unknown,
God alone,
seeks to claim my heart as home.
2 Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray our trust;
though with care and toil we build them,
tower and temple, fall to dust.
But God's power,
hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.
3 But in every time and season,
out of love's abundant store,
God sustains the whole creation
fount of life forevermore.
We who share
earth and air
count on God's unfailing care. Topics: God Beyond All Name and Form Providence and Care; God; God: Providence; Praise; Hope; Trust Used With Tune: NEANDER

The Son of God Goes Forth to War
Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 837 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:12 Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war
A kingly crown to gain.
His blood-red banner streams afar;
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink His cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears his cross below,--
He follows in His train.
2 The martyr first whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his Master in the sky
And called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on His tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong,--
Who follows in his train?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few,
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints; their hope they knew
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to feel,--
Who follows in their train?
4 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n
Thro' peril, toil, and pain.
O God, to us may grace be giv'n
To follow in their train!
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Christian Warfare Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS NEW
