A HYMN FOR SEPTUAGESIMA SUNDAY
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. |
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. |
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. |
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.
By John S.B. Monsell, 1863
