He Who Would Valiant Be | Christian Song Lyrics | Yeshu Geets

 Verse 1

He who would valiant be

'Gainst all disaster

Let him in constancy

Follow the Master

There's no discouragement

Shall make him once relent

His first avowed intent

To be a pilgrim.

Verse 2

Who so beset him round

With dismal stories,

Do but themselves confound --

His strength the more is.

No foes shall stay his might,

Though he with giants fight:

He will make good his right

To be a pilgrim.

Verse 3

Since, Lord, Thou doest defend

Us with Thy Spirit,

We know we at the end

Shall life inherit.

Then fancies flee away!

I'll fear not what men say,

I'll labor night and day

To be a pilgrim.
