Breast the Wave, Christian

Verse 1

Breast the wave, Christian, When it is strongest; Watch for day, Christian, When the night's longest; Onward and onward still Be Thine endeavour; The rest that remaineth Will be for ever.

Verse 2

Fight the fight, Christian, Jesus is o'er thee; Run the race, Christian, Heaven is before thee; He Who hath promised Faltereth never; He Who hath loved so well, Loveth for ever.

Verse 3

Lift thine eye, Christian, Just as it closeth; Raise thy heart, Christian, Ere it reposeth; Thee from the love of Christ Nothing shall sever; And, when thy work is done, Praise Him for ever.
