Fight the good fight with all your might

Fight the good fight with all your might,
Christ is your strength and Christ your right;
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 way before you lies,
Christ is the path 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 arms are near;
he does not change and you are dear;
only believe and Christ shall be
your all-in-all eternally.
