Methodist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#310b

310b. Fight the good fight with all thy might

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 His face,
Life with its path before us lies,
Christ is the way, and Christ the prize.

3 Cast 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.

4 Faint not, nor fear, His arms are near,
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee.
