Christian! Toiling for the Prize (Methodist Social Hymn Book, 1856)

Christian! toiling for the prize 
Kept for thee beyond the skies; 
Warring with the powers of sin, 
Foes without, and foes within;

Breathing now in rapture's air, 
Verging then upon despair; 
Trembling, hoping, fill'd with pain, 
Yet rejoicing once again:

Shrink not from life's bitter cup,
God shall bear thy spirit up;
Till thy spirit is set free,
"As thy day, thy strength shall be!"
