Fight the Good Fight by Horatio W. Parker — Lyrics
Fight the good fight with all thy might;
Christ is thy Strength, and Christ thy Right;
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally.
Run the straight race through God’s good grace,
Lift up thine eyes, and seek His face;
Life with its way before us lies,
Christ is the Path, and Christ the Prize.

About Fight the Good Fight
This hymn text encourages perseverance and faith in the face of life's challenges. It urges the singer to 'fight the good fight' with Christ as their strength and guide, and to 'run the straight race' by seeking God's face. The lyrics speak of laying hold on eternal life and finding joy and peace through trust in Christ's mercy and love. Horatio W. Parker's setting for SATB voices brings this message of steadfast devotion to life. The English text offers profound spiritual encouragement, suitable for a choir seeking to present a message of hope and conviction.
