Faith of our fathers! we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee too, as love knows how,
By kindly words and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
145—FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
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.
Run the straight race through God's good grace:
Lift up thine eyes and seek His face.
Life with its path before us lies,
Christ is the way and Christ the prize.
Cast care aside lean on Thy Guide:
His boundless mercy will provide;
Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove
Christ 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 see
That Christ is all in all to thee. Amen.
146—GLORY SONG
When all my labours and trials are o'er,
And I am safe on that beautiful shore,
Just to be near the dear Lord I adore,
Will through the ages be glory for me.
Chorus
Oh, that will be . . . glory for me, . . . glory for me, . . . glory for me . . .
When by His grace I shall look on His face
That will be glory, be glory for me!
When by the gift of his infinite grace
I am accorded in heaven a place,
Just to be there and to look on His face
Will through the ages be glory for me.
Friends will be there I have loved long ago;
Joy like a river around me will flow;
Yet just a smile from my Saviour, I know,
Will through the ages be glory for me.
