Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #644 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I the good fight have fought--
Oh, when shall I declare!
The vict'ry by my Saviour got,
I long with Paul to share.
2 Oh, may I triumph so,
When all my warfare's past;
And, dying, find my latest foe
Under my feet at last!
3 This blessed word be mine,
Just as the port is gained--
Kept by the power of grace divine,
I have the faith maintained.
4 The apostles of my Lord,
To whom it first was given,
They could not speak a greater word,
Nor all the saints in heaven. Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; Victory
