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.
