[Music]
The Christian race is now begun,
O, glory, glory, hallelujah!
We're striving for a heav'nly crown,
O, glory, glory, hallelujah!
_Chorus_
For the prize it lies at the end of the race,
O, glory, glory, hallelujah!
We'll run the race and gain the prize,
O, glory _etc._
Our heav'nly mansion in the skies,
O, glory _etc._
_Chorus_
We'll lay aside our every weight,
The way is narrow and straight the gate.
In earnest cry we'll wrestle along;
Then on a kingly throne sit down.
Omnipotence is on our side,
And God himself will be our guide.
Then when the race we've nobly run,
He'll count us worthy of a crown.
The form of the above is "as sung by Rev. G. C. Wells".
