Breast the wave, Christian,
when it is strongest;
Watch for day, Christian,
when night is longest;
Onward and onward still
be thine endeavour;
The rest that remaineth,
endureth for ever.
Fight the fight, Christian,
Jesus is o‘er thee;
Run the race, Christian,
Heaven is before thee;
He who hath promiséd
faltereth never;
Oh, trust in the love that
endureth for ever.
Lift the eye, Christian,
just as it closeth;
Raise the heart, Christian,
ere it reposeth:
Nothing thy soul from the
Saviour shall sever;
Soon shalt thou mount upward
to praise him for ever.
