"He Who Would Valiant Be" - Commonwealth Day Service 2024

"He Who Would Valiant Be" during which the flags of the Commonwealth nations leave the Abbey at Commonwealth Day Service, March 11, 2024.
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.
Whoso 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.
Since, Lord, though 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 labour night and day
to be a pilgrim
Monk’s Gate Percy Dearmer (1867-1936), Canon of Westminster, adapted from an English folk song after The Pilgrim’s Progress John Bunyan (1628-88)
arranged by James O’Donnell

To be fair, the one you linked was a much more emotional and much more significant service
