LyicsBreast the wave, Christian, when it is strongest;
Watch the day, Christian, when night is longest;
Onward and upward still be thine endeavor;
The rest that remaineth endureth forever.
Fight the fight, Christian; Jesus is o'er thee;
Run the race, Christian; heaven is before thee;
He who hath promised, faltereth never;
Oh trust in the love that endureth forever!
Lift the eye, Christian, just as it closeth;
Raise the heart, Christian, ere it reposeth:
Thee from the love of Christ nothing shall sever;
Mount, when the work is done-praise God forever!
