There's no discouragement shall make me once relent my first avowed intent to be a pilgrim. 2 Who so beset me round with dismal stories do but themselves confound: my strength the more is. No foes shall stay my might; though I with giants fight, but I will have the right to be a pilgrim. 3 Hobgoblin nor foul fiend can daunt my spirit: I know I at the end shall life inherit. Then, fancies, fly away! Fear not what others say; I'll labour night and day to be a pilgrim. Scripture: Matthew 19:29 Used With Tune: MONKS GATE
