7. Hymn: Fight The Good Fight With All Thy Might

Fight The Good Fight With All Thy Might

Author: John S. B. Monsell
Tune: PENTECOST, by William Boyd

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

2. Run the straight race through 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.

3. Cast care aside, lean on thy guide,
    His boundless mercy will provide;
    Trust, and enduring faith shall prove
    Christ is its life, and Christ its love.

4. Faint not nor fear, for He is near,
    He changeth not, and thou art dear;
    Only believe, and you will see
    That Christ is all in all to thee.

10. Hymn: O Worship The Lord In The Beauty Of Holiness!

O Worship The Lord In The Beauty Of Holiness!

Author: John S. B. Monsell
Tune: WAS LEBET WAS SCHWEBET

1. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
    Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim;
    With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness,
    Kneel and adore Him: the Lord is His Name!

2. Low at His feet lay thy burden of carefulness,
    High on His heart He will bear it for thee,
    Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
    Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.

3. Fear not to enter His courts in the slenderness
    Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine:
    Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
    These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.

4. These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
    He will accept for the Name that is dear;
    Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
    Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.

5. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
    Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim;
    With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness,
    Kneel and adore Him: the Lord is His Name!
