Presented by Chet Valley Churches, inspired by Pilgrim’s Progress, we have He Who Would Valiant Be.
Boy, oh boy, though. Here at Chez Leester our pilgrimage has been an endurance test, and uphill all the way. (More about that in the next post.)
What can we do but follow the Master? He’s the one who knows the way.
Hit it, Maddy! John Bunyan’s hymn, To Be a Pilgrim, performed by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band. I love this song and can’t imagine why it’s been so long since I’ve posted it.
Also known (and sung!) as He Who Would Valiant Be.
[Please pray for Patty to come home safe from her doctor’s appointment. It’s only a checkup, but we’re feeling rather vulnerable lately.]
Oh, this hymn sounds fine, played on a great big organ! He Who Would Valiant Be–I can’t ask for better.
I haven’t posted this hymn in a long time, too long: He Who Would Valiant Be. It’s a 1906 modification, by Percy Dreemer in 1906, of John Bunyan’s 17th century hymn, To Be a Pilgrim. It never fails to stir my spirit.
I couldn’t help myself: it brought me to tears, and I just had to post it.
He Who Would Valiant Be–aka To Be a Pilgrim, by John Bunyan–performed by Joshua and Jeremy Swanson. Just beautiful!
I don’t know whether I’ll be here tomorrow. I’ll be facing a–let’s call it “a medical challenge”–at the crack of dawn and I don’t know what comes afterward. I could get really bad news.
And I’m still grieving my cat. I miss her so bad.
But anyway, here’s a lovely hymn, well worth sharing–He Who Would Valiant Be, sung by the Wallingford Parish Church choir, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Your prayer will be most welcome.
(Boy, we need a normal day today! Please pray for us.)
One of my favorite hymns, written by John Bunyan and found in Pilgrim’s Progress: performed here by the choir at Wallingford Parish Church and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra–He Who Would Valiant Be.
This is a 1906 version of the classic hymn by John Bunyan (Pilgrim’s Progress), performed by the Wallingford Parish Church Choir and the Royal Philharmonic. Dazzling! Soul-anointing! Made me want to burst out crying–for joy.
No excuses–I just love this hymn, and it was the first one to pop up on my screen today–He Who Would Valiant Be aka To Be a Pilgrim. Guitar solo by Bridget Mermikides/
I’d love to post more hymns… so the door is open to requests.
We are still flailing away at computer … “issues.” Now we’ve got the laptop up and running, but the printer has vanished into the twilight zone.
Anyway, here’s a hymn for the day–John Bunyan’s hymn, He Who Would Valiant Be, sung by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
