LyicsBreast the wave, Christian, when it is strongest;
Watch for 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 it, faltereth never;
O, 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.
