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.
