Author: John S. B. Monsell Hymnal: The Hymnbook #359 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Fight the good fight with all thy might Lyrics: 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 thy trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its Life, and Christ its Love.
4 Faint not nor fear, His arms are near;
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
That Christ is All in all to thee.
Amen. Topics: Christ Guide; Christ Strength and Refuge; Courage; Soldiers of Christ; Trial and Conflict; Trust; Life in Christ Trial and Conflict Scripture: Luke 8:50 Tune Title: PENTECOST
