Author: Habington Hymnal: Great Revival Hymns #40 (1911) First Line: We soon shall see the day Refrain First Line: If, like Paul, we shall fight the good fight Lyrics: 1 We soon shall see the day
When our toils and cares shall cease;
When we shall cast our arms away,
And dwell in endless peace:—
Refrain:
If, like Paul, we shall fight the good fight;
If, like Paul, we lay hold on eternal life;
We shall receive a crown, a crown of righteousness,
Which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give us that day.
2 This hope supports us here,
And it makes our burdens light;
‘Twill serve our drooping hearts to cheer,
Till faith shall end in sight:—[Refrain]
3 Then, of the prize possessed,
We, of wars, shall hear no more;
But ever with our Leader rest
On yonder peaceful shore:— [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We soon shall see the day]
Fight the Good Fight
