Fight the good fight

Fight the good fight with all your might
Christ is your strength and christ your light.
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Your joy and crown eternally.

Run the straight race through God's good grace
Lift up your eyes and seek his face.
Life with its way before us lies
Christ is the path and christ the prize.

Cast care aside, lean on your guide
His boundless mercy will provide.
Lean, and the trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life and christ its love.

Faint not nor fear his arms are near.
He changes not, and you are dear.
Only believe, and you will see
That christ is lord eternally.
