Breast the Wave, Christian
Breast the Wave, Christian | |
Joseph Stammers, 1830, alt.
| Breast the wave, Christian, To when it is strongest; Watch for day, Christian, When the night's longest; Onward and onward still Be thine endeavour; The rest that remaineth Will be for ever. | 2. Fight the fight, Christian, Jesus is o'er thee; Run the race, Christian, Heaven is before thee; He who hath promised Faltereth never; The love of eternity Flows on for ever. | 3. 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 thy work is done, Praise him for ever. |
