Breast the wave, Christian, when it is strongest;
1
Breast the wave, Christian, when it is strongest;Watch for day, Christian, when night is longest;Onward and upward still be thine endeavor;The rest that remaineth endureth forever.
2
Fight the fight, Christian, Jesus is o'er thee;Run the race, Christian, heaven is before thee;He who hath promised will falter, no, never;O trust in the love that endureth forever.
3
Lift the eye, Christian, just as it closeth;Raise the heart, Christian, ere it reposeth:Nothing thy soul from the Saviour can sever;And soon shalt thou see him and praise him forever.
