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.
Run the straight race through God's good grace;
Lift up your eyes and seek his face.
Life with its way before us lies;
Christ is the path and christ the prize.
Cast care aside, lean on your guide;
His boundless mercy will provide.
Lean, and the trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life and christ its love.
Faint not nor fear; his arms are near.
He changes not, and you are dear.
Only believe, and you will see
That christ is lord eternally.
