First Line: Christian, dost thou see them on the holy ground

Christian, dost thou see them on the holy ground,
How the powers of darkness compass thee around ?
Christian, up and smite them, counting gain but loss ;
Smite them by the merit of the holy cross.

2 Christian, dost thou feel them, how
they work within, [into sin ?
Striving, tempting, luring, goading
Christian, never tremble, never be downcast ;
Gird thee for the conflict, watch and pray and fast.

3 Christian, dost thou hear them, how
they speak thee fair?
Always fast and vigil, always watch and prayer?
Christian, answer boldly, While I '
breathe I pray ;
Peace shall follow battle, night shall end in day.

4 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,
And the end of sorrow shall be near My throne.
