- 1Fight 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.
- 2Run the straight race through God's good grace
- Lift up thine eyes and seek His face;
- Life with its way before us lies,
- Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.
- 3Cast 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.
- 4Faint not nor fear, for He is near,
- He changeth not, and thou art dear;
- Only believe, and thou shalt see
- That Christ is all in all to thee.
