Author: John S. B. Monsell, 1811-1875 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #461 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Lutheran Book of Worship First Line: Fight the good fight with all your might Lyrics: 1 Fight the good fight with all your might;
Christ is your strength, and Christ your right.
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Your joy and crown eternally.
2 Run the straight race through God's good grace;
lift up your 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 your guide;
His boundless mercy will provide.
Trust, and enduring faith shall prove
Christ is your life, and Christ your love.
4 Faint not nor fear, his arms are near;
He changes not who holds you dear;
Only believe, and you will see
That Christ is all eternally. Topics: Trust, Guidance; Pentecost 26 (Year C); Commitment; Trust, Guidance; Christian warfare Languages: English Tune Title: GRACE CHURCH, GANANOQUE
