412. Fight the Good Fight

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 thru 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.

3 Cast care aside, lean on thy Guide,
His boundless mercy will provide;
Trust, and the trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life and Christ its love.

4 Faint 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.
