"Pentecost" by William Boyd, "Duke Street"
"Fight the Good Fight" is a traditional, classic favorite hymn and Christian song.[1]
It was written by John Samuel Bewley Monsell and published in Hymns of Love and Praise for the Church’s Year (1863).[2] It is sung to the tune Pentecost, written in 1864 by William Boyd.[3]
The hymn is based on the King James Bible's version of Paul's First Epistle to Timothy, Chapter 6, verse 12: "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."[4] The hymn lyrics urge the listener to "Fight the good fight," "lay hold on life," "run the straight race," "cast care aside", and "faint not nor fear."[1]
