"I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT."

By W. A. Blakely

BY W. A. BLAKELY.

"I have fought a good fight," a brave warrior once said, When his armor he came to lay down, I have kept the true faith and henceforth there is laid Up above, and for me, a bright crown.

In that glorious day when our Lord shall appear In the clouds, from the Heaven above, I may then be at rest; but his voice I shall hear, For his coming and kingdom I love.

And then not to me only a crown will he give, But to all who will watch for their Lord; a rich crown of rejoicing each one shall receive For believing and trusting his word.

O, most glorious hope! that the Lord will soon come For the saints that his coming do love; That our Lord will then crown us and take us all home To bright mansions in Heaven above.
