Author: James Stammers Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #656 (1894) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Breast the wave, Christian,
When it is strongest;
Watch for day, Christian,
When the night's longest;
Onward and onward 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,
Heaven is before thee;
He Who hath promised
Faltereth never;
He Who hath loved so well,
Loveth 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 thy work is done,
Praise Him forever.
Amen. Topics: Home and Personal Use; Progress Languages: English Tune Title: [Breast the wave, Christian]
