A Calendar of Hymns #d22
1. All who would valiant be
'Gainst all disaster,
Let them in constancy
Follow the master.
There's no discouragement
Shall make them once relent
Their first avowed intent
To be true pilgrims.
2. Who so beset them round
With dismal stories,
Do but themselves confound;
Their strength the more is.
No foes shall stay their might;
Though they with giants fight,
They will make good their right
To be true pilgrims.
3. Since, Lord, you will defend
Us with your Spirit,
We know we at the end
Shall life inherit.
Then fancies flee away!
We'll fear not what they say,
We'll labor night and day
To be true pilgrims.
