473. Fight the Good Fight

1 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.

2 Run the straight race through God's good grace,
lift up your eyes, and seek His face;
life with its path before us lies;
Christ is the way, and Christ the prize.

3 Cast care aside; lean on your Guide,
His boundless mercy will provide;
trust, and your trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.

4 Faint not, nor fear, His arm is near,
He does not change, and you are dear;
only believe, and Christ shall be
your all in all eternally.
