S. S. Hos
BREAST the wave, Christian,
When it is strongest;
Watch for day, Christian,
When the night’s longest.
Onward and onward still
Be thine endeavour:
The rest that remaineth
Shall be forever.
2
Fight the fight, Christian:
Jesus is o’er thee;
Run the race, Christian,
Heaven is before thee.
He that hath promised us,
Faltereth never;
The love of eternity
Flows on forever.
3
Lift the eye, Christian,
Just as it closeth;
Raise the heart, Christian,
Ere it reposeth.
Thee from the love of Christ
Nothing shall sever,
Mount when thy work is done—
Praise Him forever!
