Author: J. S. B. Monsell (1811-1875) Appears in 480 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 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 you lies,
Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.
3 Cast care aside, lean on your guide,
his boundless mercy will provide;
trust, and your trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.
4 Faint not, nor fear, his arms are near;
he does not change, and you are dear;
only believe and Christ shall be
your all-in-all eternally.
