| Tune: | [Fight the good fight with all thy might] |
| Composer: | Herbert Oakeley |
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 enduring faith shall prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.
4 Faint not nor fear, for He is near,
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe, and you will see
That Christ is all in all to thee.
