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. | 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. |
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. | 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. |
John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1863
