‘To Be a Pilgrim’

This is one of my all-time favorite hymns–and boy, do I need it! To Be a Pilgrim, John Bunyan’s hymn, etc.–by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.

See the next post for a update.

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.

 

‘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.

‘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.

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!

Bonus Hymn, ‘To Be a Pilgrim’

This hymn rose up in my mind as I was coming downstairs for breakfast, I feel like I’ve just got to have it today, so here goes–To Be a Pilgrim, by John Bunyan, performed by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band. Also known as Who Would True Valor See.

I Think I Ought to Post This: ‘To Be a Pilgrim’

My wife thought she heard me listening to this hymn, this morning. I wasn’t: and yet my stats board showed four hits for it. To Be a Pilgrim, by John Bunyan, sung by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band–yeah, okay, heed the promptings of the Spirit.

I’ve also discovered a version by Joshua and Jeremy. If I get some calls for it, I’ll post that one, too.
