Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-1875 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #169 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:12 First Line: Fight the good fight with all thy might Lyrics: 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 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 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. Topics: Faith, Trust and Commitment; Grace and Providence; Temptation, Penitence and Forgiveness; Year A Proper 22; Year B Proper 17; Year B Proper 2; Year C Lent 5; Year C Proper 21; Year C Proper 25 Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET
