Fight The Good Fight With All Thy Might

"I have fought the good and worthy and noble fight,
I have finished the race, I have kept the faith,
firmly guarding the gospel against error."
2 Timothy 4:7

Fight the good fight with all thy might;

Christ is thy Strength, and Christ thy Right:

Lay hold on life, and it shall be

The joy and crown eternally.

Run the straight race through God's good grace,

Lift up thine eyes and seek His face;

Life with it's way before us lies,

Christ is the Path and Christ the Prize.

Cast care aside; upon thy Guide

Lean, and His mercy will provide;

Lean, and the trusting soul shall prove,

Christ is its Life, and Christ its Love.

Faint not, fear not, 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.

Amen
