Text: | Keep Thy Faith And Youthful Vigor |
Author: | Christoffer Hansen |
Tune: | [Keep thy faith and youthful vigor] |
1 Keep thy faith and youthful vigor,
Keep thy faith!
See the goal from heaven beaming,
Wave God's banner, bright streaming!
Keep thy faith,
Keep thy faith!
2 Press thou on in youthful spirit,
Press thou on!
Lo, the goal from heaven beckons,
And thy Savior with thee reckons,
Press thou on,
Press thou on!
3 Run the course, tho' faint and weary,
Run the course!
Tho' the road o'er stones be leading,
And thy feet from wounds are bleeding,
Run the course,
Run the course!
4 Pray to God for strength and courage,
Pray to God!
Pray that Jesus will not fail thee,
When temptations hard assail thee;
Pray to God,
Pray to God!
5 O what prize! The course is finish'd,
O what prize!
See the home in heav'nly places,
See the angels' happy faces,
O what prize,
O what prize!
