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.
