Who would true valour see

Author: John Bunyan (1628-1688) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Appears in 151 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:13 Lyrics: 1 Who would true valour see, let him come hither; one here will constant be, come wind, come weather; there's no discouragement shall make him once relent his first avowed intent to be a pilgrim. 2 Whoso beset him round with dismal stories, do but themselves confound; his strength the more is. No lion can him fright; he'll with a giant fight, but he will have a right to be a pilgrim. 3 Hobgoblin nor foul friend can daunt his spirit; he knows he at the end shall life inherit. Then fancies fly away; he'll fear not what men say; he'll labour night and day to be a pilgrim.

The Son of God Goes Forth to War

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 837 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:33-40 Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears His cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save. Like Him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame: They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their turn? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n Through peril, toil, and pain; O God, to us may grace be giv'n To follow in their train! Amen.
