Christian, Dost Thou See Them!

Hymnal: Joyful Songs #81 (1875) First Line: Christian, dost thou see them Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Christian, dost thou heed them, How they work within? Striving, tempting, luring, Goading into sin? Christian, never tremble; Never be downcast, Gird thee for the battle, Watch, and pray, and fast. 3 "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.

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: Rev. J. B. Dykes, Mus. Doc. Composer of "[Christian! dost thou see them]" in The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman
