School Hymn

Who would true Valour see,

Let her come hither.

One here will constant be,

Come wind come weather.

There’s no discouragement,

shall make her once relent.

Her first avowed intent

To be a pilgrim.


Who so beset her round,

With dismal stories.

Do but themselves confound -

Her strength the more is.

No foes shall stay her might;

Though she with giants fight,

She will make good her right

To be a pilgrim.


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.
