To Be a Pilgrim By John Bunyan A Song from "The Pilgrim's Progress" "Confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." ~ Hebrews 11:13 ~ ho would true valour see, Let him come hither; One here will constant be, Come wind, come weather. There's no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent, To be a pilgrim. Whoso beset him round With dismal stories Do but themselves confound; His strength the more is. No lion can him fright, He'll with a giant fight, But he will have a right To be a pilgrim. Hobgoblin, nor foul fiend, Can daunt his spirit: He knows, he at the end Shall life inherit. Then fancies fly away, He'll fear not what men say, He'll labour night and day To be a pilgrim.
