He who would valiant be

Author: John Bunyan (1628-1688) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #276a (1950) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Lyrics: 1 He who would valiant be 'Gainst all disaster, Let him in constancy Follow the Master. There's no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent To be a pilgrim. 2 Who so beset him round With dismal stories Do but themselves confound— His strength the more is. No foes shall stay his might; Though he with giants fight, He will make good his right To be a pilgrim. 3 Since, Lord, Thou dost defend Us with Thy Spirit, We know we at the end Shall life inherit. Then fancies flee away! I'll fear not what men say, I'll labor night and day To be a pilgrim. Amen.

Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear. Since Thou on earth hast wept, And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done. 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, "My Lord, Thy will be done." Amen.

I bow my forehead to the dust

Author: John G. Whittier Hymnal: HPAG1933 #282 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I bow my forehead to the dust, I veil mine eyes for shame, And urge, in trembling self-distrust, A prayer without a claim. No offering of mine own I have, No works my faith to prove; I can but give the gifts He gave, And plead His love for love. 2 I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies. And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar: No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore. 3 I know not where His islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond His love and care. And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen Thy creatures as they be, Forgive me if too close I lean My human heart on Thee. Amen.

The storm may roar without me, My heart may low be laid; But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 2 Wherever He may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim; He knows the way He taketh, And I will walk with Him. 3 Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, The path to life is free; My Saviour has my treasure, And He will walk with me. Amen.
