Fight the Good Fight

John S. B. Monsell (1863) • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:1-9

Verse 1

Fight the good fight with all your might; Christ is your strength, and Christ is your right; Lay hold on life, and it shall be Your joy and crown eternally.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

Cast care aside; upon your Guide Lean, and his mercy will provide; Lean, and the trusting soul shall prove Christ is its life, and Christ its love.

Verse 4

Faint not, nor fear, his arms are near; He changes not, and you are dear; Only believe, and own it true That Christ is all in all to you.
