Sheet music
- 1Fight the good fight with all thy might!Christ is thy strength, and Christ thy right;Lay hold on life, and it shall beThy joy and crown eternally.Run the straight race thro' God's good grace,Lift up thine eyes, and seek His face;Life with its way before us lies,Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.
- 2Cast care aside, lean on thy Guide,His boundless mercy will provide;Trust, and thy trusting soul shall proveChrist is its life, and Christ its love.Faint not nor fear, His arms are near,He changeth not, and thou art dear;Only believe, and thou shalt seeThat Christ is all in all to thee.Amen.
