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.
