<p>He who would valiant be ’gainst all disaster,<br>
|
|
Let him in constancy follow the Master.<br>
|
|
There’s no discouragement shall make him once relent<br>
|
|
His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim.</p>
|
|
<p>Who so beset him round with dismal stories<br>
|
|
Do but themselves confound—his strength the more is.<br>
|
|
No foes shall stay his might; though he with giants fight,<br>
|
|
He will make good his right to be a pilgrim.</p>
|
|
<p>Since, Lord, Thou dost defend us with Thy Spirit,<br>
|
|
We know we at the end, shall life inherit.<br>
|
|
Then fancies flee away! I’ll fear not what men say,<br>
|
|
I’ll labor night and day to be a pilgrim.</p>

<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>Who would true valour see,<br>
|
|
Let him come hither;<br>
|
|
One here will constant be,<br>
|

Come wind, come weather<br>

There’s no discouragement<br>

Shall make him once relent<br>

His first avowed intent<br>

To be a pilgrim.</p>

<p>Whoso beset him round<br>
|

With dismal stories<br>

Do but themselves confound;<br>
|
|
His strength the more is.<br>
|
|
No lion can him fright,<br>
|
|
He’ll with a giant fight,<br>
|
|
He will have a right<br>
|
|
To be a pilgrim.</p>
|
|
<p>Hobgoblin nor foul fiend<br>
|
|
Can daunt his spirit,<br>
|
|
He knows he at the end<br>
|
|
Shall life inherit.<br>
|
|
Then fancies fly away,<br>
|
|
He’ll fear not what men say,<br>
|

He’ll labor night and day<br>
