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.”
