1.

Rise to battle—strive and conquer!
Rise to virtue, deeds, and might!
We’ve the power of God’s kingdom!
Look to heaven whence shines light!

Chorus:

Fight ’gainst sin till blood is flowing!
Fight until you overcome!
Fight until God’s light shines clearly!
Fight until the goal is won!

2.

Fight for what you’ve won already!
Fight that no one takes your crown!
Fight to break with sin that binds you!
Fight! For Christ has overcome!

3.

If the fear of death has bound you,
Fight as Christ did in His day;
Thus did He become the firstfruits.
Vict’ry’s sure upon this way!

4.

Fight when you are under pressure!
Fight against discouragement!
Sin deny, and by so doing,
Keep with God your covenant!

5.

Fight, for soon the time is over!
Be not lukewarm to your call!
Fight ’gainst all that still ensnares you!
Fight! For see, so many fall.

6.

Home soon with our precious Savior,
Then a victor’s crown we’ll wear.
There before His throne of glory,
Full of joy our sheaves we’ll bear!
