Author: Andrew of Crete, d. 732; John Mason Neale Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 308 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christian, dost thou see them On the holy ground, How the hosts 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, Striving, tempting, luring, Goading into sin? Christian, never tremble; Never be down-cast; Gird thee for the battle, 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 Hear the words of Jesus: "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.” Amen.

Holy Spirit! hear us; help us while we sing; Breathe into the music of the praise we bring. Holy Spirit! prompt us when we kneel to pray; Nearer come and teach us what we ought to say. 2. Holy Spirit! shine Thou on the Book we read; Gild its holy pages with the light we need. Holy Spirit! give us each a lowly mind; Make us more like Jesus, gentle, pure and kind. 3. Holy Spirit! brighten little deeds of toil; And our playful pastimes let no folly spoil. Holy Spirit! keep us safe from sins which lie Hidden by some pleasure from our youthful eye. 4. Holy Spirit! help us daily by Thy might, What is wrong to conquer and to choose the right. Holy Spirit! hear us, help us while we sing; Breathe into the music of the praise we bring.

In the Bleak Midwinter

Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti; John Andrew Storey Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter, Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago. 2 Christ a homeless stranger, So the gospels say, Cradled in a manger And a bed of hay; In the bleak midwinter Stableplace sufficed Mary and her baby, Jesus Christ. 3 Once more child and mother Weave their magic spell, Cradled in a manger And a bed of hay; In the bleak midwinter, In this world of pain, Where our hearts are open Love is born again. 4 What can I give him poor as I am. If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb. If I were a wise man I would do my part, Yet what I can I give him? I can give my heart.
