The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#257

257. Fight the Good Fight

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, for He is near;
He changeth not and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
Thy Christ is all in all to thee.

Amen.
