Fight the good fight
John Monsell (1811-1875)
Fight the good fight with all your might,
For Jesus is your strength and right;
Lay hold on life, and it will be
Your joy and crown eternally.
Run the straight race in God's good grace,
Lift up your eyes, and seek His face,
The way of life before you lies
And Jesus is your path and prize.
For Jesus is your strength and right;
Lay hold on life, and it will be
Your joy and crown eternally.
Run the straight race in God's good grace,
Lift up your eyes, and seek His face,
The way of life before you lies
And Jesus is your path and prize.
Throw care aside, lean on your Guide;
His endless mercy will provide;
Just trust in Him and you will prove,
That Jesus is your life and love.
Fight the good fight.
Don't faint or fear, His arms are near,
He doesn't change, and you are dear;
Believe in Him, you'll see it's true -
Jesus is all in all to you.
Fight the good fight.
