Fight the Good Fight

[116 words] Fight 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. Cast care aside; upon thy GuideLean, and His mercy will provide;Lean, and the 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. John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875)…
