Author: J. S. B. Monsell, 1811-75 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #249 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary First Line: Fight the good fight with all your might Lyrics: 1 Fight the good fight with all your might;
Christ is your strength and Christ your right.
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Your joy and crown eternally.
2 Run the straight race through God's good grace;
Lift up your eyes, and seek His face.
Life with its way before us lies;
Christ is the path and Christ the prize.
3 Cast care aside, lean on your guide;
His boundless mercy will provide.
Trust, and enduring faith shall prove
Christ is your life, and Christ your love.
4 Faint not nor fear, His arms are near;
He changes not, who holds you dear;
Only believe, and you will see
That Christ is all eternally.
