Breast The Wave, Christian

Breast the wave, Christian, when it is strongest,

Watch for day, Christian, when the night's longest;

Onward and upward still be thine endeavor;

The rest that remaineth will be forever.

Fight the fight, Christian, Jesus is o'er thee;

Run the race, Christian, Heav'n is before thee;

He Who hath promised faltereth never;

The love of eternity flows on forever.

Lift thine eye, Christian, just as it closeth;

Raise thy heart, Christian, ere it reposeth;

Thee from the love of Christ nothing shall sever;

And when all thy work is done, praise Him forever.
