Author: Joseph Stammers Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #620 Meter: 10.10.11.11 First Line: Breast the wave, Christian, when it is strongest Lyrics: 1. Breast the wave, Christian, when it is strongest,
Watch for day, Christian, when the night’s longest;
Onward and upward still be thine endeavor;
The rest that remaineth will be forever.
2. Fight the fight, Christian, Jesus is o’er thee;
Run the race, Christian, Heav’n is before thee;
He who hath promised faltereth never;
The love of eternity flows on forever.
3. Lift thine eye, Christian, just as it closeth;
Raise thy heart, Christian, ere it reposeth;
Thee from the love of Christ nothing shall sever;
And when all thy work is done, praise Him forever. Languages: English Tune Title: FORTITUDE (Filby)
Breast the Wave, Christian
