Who would true valour see
Author: John Bunyan (1628-1688) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Appears in 151 hymnals Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:37 Lyrics: 1 Who 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.
2 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.
3 Hobgoblin nor foul friend
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. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Conflict; Courage; Pilgrimage Used With Tune: MONK'S GATE

A safe stronghold our God is still
Author: Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881); Martin Luther (1483-1546) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:47 Lyrics: 1 A safe stronghold our God is still,
a trusty shield and weapon;
he'll keep us clear from all the ill
that hath us now o'ertaken.
The ancient prince of hell
hath risen with purpose fell;
strong mail of craft and power
he weareth in this hour;
on earth is not his fellow.
2 With force of arms we nothing can,
full soon were we down-ridden;
but for us fights the proper Man,
whom God himself hath bidden.
Ask ye who is this same?
Christ Jesus is his name,
the Lord Sabaoth's Son;
he, and no other one,
shall conquer in the battle.
3 And were this world all devils o'er,
and watching to devour us,
we lay it not to heart so sore;
they cannot overpower us.
And let the prince of ill
look grim as e'er he will,
he harms us not a whit;
for why? his doom is writ;
a word shall quickly slay him.
4 God's word, for all their craft and force,
one moment will not linger,
but, spite of hell, shall have its course;
'tis written by his finger.
And, though they take our life,
goods, honour, children, wife,
yet is their profit small;
these things shall vanish all:
the city of God remaineth. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Conflict; God Protection of; Victory Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

yours is the battle--yours shall be the praise!

victors, we rest in you through endless days. Topics: Jesus Christ Deliverer; Assurance; Commitment; Believing Faith; Jesus Christ Deliverer; Jesus Christ Names; Jesus Christ Final Victory; Trust Used With Tune: STRENGTH AND STAY

Plucks from his jaws each captive lamb,
And brings them to the fold again.

The conq'ring Lord, the living God,
Faithful and true his fold shall keep. Topics: Particular Types, and General Prophesies of Jesus, from the Legal and Prophetic Dispensations

Before the Dawn Had Broken
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:41-45 Lyrics: 1 Before the dawn had broken,
before God's lamp was spent,
a boy heard someone calling
and wondered what it meant.
The old priest reassured him,
so Samuel, without fear,
said, ""God, your servant listens,
and waits, your word to hear.""
2 A young lad went to battle
a giant ten feet tall,
while others watched and trembled,
and thought to see him fall.
Said David, ""God protects me;
I come in God's own name.""
God helped him save the people,
by faith make good his claim.
3 The soldier was a leper
who thought his doom was sure,
but then a young girl told him,
"God's prophet has a cure."
She sent him to Elisha
who showed him what to do.
and he, made whole and healthy,
saw he could trust God too.
4 The multitude was hungry.
“We have no food,” they said.
A little boy came forward
to share his fish and bread.
“It is enough,” said Jesus,
“this gift of love will last.”
He blessed the loaves and fishes,
and no one had to fast.
5 A child becomes a prophet,
a shepherd boy a king,
a maid, a means of healing.
a boy, of offering.
May we have faith like children,
like them come to believe
that when we trust love’s power
great blessings we receive.
