Christian! Dost Thou See Them

Author: John Mason Neale; Andrew of Crete, c. 660-732 Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 306 hymnals Lyrics: Christian! dost thou see them On the holy ground, How the troops of Midian Prowl and prowl around? Christian! up and smite them, Counting gain but loss: Smite them by the merit Of the Holy Cross! Christian! dost thou feel them, How they work within, Striving, tempting, luring, Goading into sin? Christian! never tremble! Never be down-cast! Smite them by the virtue Of the Lenten Fast! Christian! dost thou hear them How they speak thee fair? “Always fast and vigil? Always watch and prayer?” Christian! say but boldly: “While I breathe, I pray:” Peace shall follow battle, Night shall end in day. “Well I know thy trouble, O my servant true; Thou art very weary,— I was weary too: But that toil shall make thee, Some day, all Mine own: But the end of sorrow Shall be near My Throne.”

And the little moments, Humble though they be, Make the mighty ages Of eternity. 3. Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Make our earth an Eden, Like the Heaven above. 4. So our little errors Lead the soul away, From the paths of virtue Into sin to stray. 5. Little seeds of mercy Sown by youthful hands, Grow to bless the nations Far in heathen lands. 6. Glory then for ever Be to Father, Son, With the Holy Spirit, Blessèd Three in One. Used With Tune: GOTT EIN VATER
