To Be a Pilgrim

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.

 

John Bunyan’s Hymn

This is one of my favorite hymns, written by John Bunyan, author of “The Pilgrim’s Progress”–Who Would True Valor See, sung with gusto by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.

Hymn requests, anyone?

‘To Be a Pilgrim’

Please indulge me. I love this hymn, it never fails to stir my soul: To Be a Pilgrim, by John Bunyan (aka He Who Would Valiant Be). Sung by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.

We are all pilgrims in this age; and the Father will reward us if we don’t turn back.

John Bunyan’s Hymn (Plus Update on Me)

(Trying to pump up my courage…)

One of my favorite hymns: Who Would True Valor See, also known as He Who Would Valiant Be: written by John Bunyan (Pilgrim’s Progress) and performed here by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band–

UPDATE–We’re back from Dr. Swan’s, he gave me clearance (what does that mean?) for next week’s “procedure.” And then the next, and the next one after that… and I’d better calm down, I’m scaring myself.

I think I’d better have a cigar.

‘He Who Would Valiant Be’

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.

‘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.
