Christian, dost thou see them? by John Bacchus Dykes — Lyrics
Christian, dost thou see them
on the holy ground,
how the pow'rs of darkness
rage thy steps around?
Christian, up and smite them,
counting gain but loss,
in the strength that cometh
by the holy cross.

About Christian, dost thou see them?
John Bacchus Dykes’s familiar hymn tune is here arranged for SATB choir. The four voices are interwoven, creating a rich texture that supports the earnest English text. The words speak of spiritual struggle, urging the Christian to resist the temptations and 'pow'rs of darkness' with faith and prayer. The arrangement enhances the hymn’s message of steadfastness, with the SATB harmonies building to moments of resolute affirmation.
