Who would true valour see

Author: John Bunyan (1628-1688) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #823 (2013) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Scripture: 1 Samuel 17 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 the right to be a pilgrim. 3 Hobgoblin nor foul fiend can daunt his spirit; he knows he at the end shall life inherit. Then, fancies, fly away; he'll not fear what men say; he'll labour night and day to be a pilgrim.

Stebbins Scripture: 1 Samuel 17 Composer of "[Soldados de Cristo que estáis en la lid]" in Himnos de Gloria Stebbins studied music in Buffalo and Rochester, New York, then became a singing teacher. Around 1869, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, to join the Lyon and Healy Music Company. He also became the music director at the First Baptist Church in Chicago. It was in Chicago that he met the leaders in the Gospel music field, such as George Root, Philip Bliss, & Ira Sankey. At age 28, Stebbins moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where he became music director at the Claredon Street Baptist Church; the pastor there was Adoniram Gordon. Two years later, Stebbins became music director at Tremont Temple in Boston. Shortly thereafter, he became involved in evangelism campaigns with Moody and others.

John Bunyan

1628 - 1688 Person Name: John Bunyan, 1628-1688 Scripture: 1 Samuel 17 Author of "Who would true valour see" in Singing the Faith Bunyan, John. This great allegorist cannot be included amongst hymn writers, except on the ground that the piece, “He that is down needs fear no fall," from pt. ii. of his Pilgrim's Progress, 1684, is given in a limited number of hymnals. The son of a mechanic, he was born at Elstow, 1628; was a Baptist minister at Bedford; and died in London, Aug. 1688. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) =================================== Bunyan, John, p. 193, ii. Another piece by him is "Valiant's song" in the Pilgrim's Progress, pt. ii., 1684 (2nd edition 1686, p. 177). There, and in E. P. Hood's Our Hymn Book1873, no. 398, it begins "Who would true valour see" (A Pilgrim's Song). In the English Hymnal, 1906, No. 402, it is partly rewritten, and begins "He who would valiant be." [Rev. James Mearns. M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
