"He Who Would Valiant Be" (HD) - Prince Philip Memorial Service 2022

[@kathleenamatangelo3713]

How lovely the queen can be surrounded with her family this year.

The ultimate Protestant hymn. What Bunyan is actually saying is that his own pilgrimage is not to find holy relics and temples of gold but to follow God's calling to find sinners to preach to, in his case in Bedford, Elstow, Kempston and surrounding villages that he could walk to in a day. He believed you didn't need a priest, you didn't need a church and you didn't need permission to speak from the state, all you needed was a bible, a man to preach it and a crowd to listen. And he was persecuted and imprisoned for it because he wasn't a licensed (ie Church of England) vicar, but he remained defiant. I happen to be an unbeliever but I respect that man enormously for challenging the state to defend freedom of speech. And so did the gaolers at Bedford Prison who quietly let him out from time to time to carry on preaching and earning a living fixing pots and pans and sharpening kitchen knives. Every market square preacher, political speaker and social media commentator owes his freedom of speech to men such as Bunyan. It is with some irony that the Church of England has taken this hymn to its heart as a regular feature in its services.

Beautifully put!

For God and Protestant Ulster. Ian Paisley was the modern version of John Bunyan

Well I like to think of the Catholic pilgrimages in old England when I think of this hymn

protestants are heretics that hate the Holy Mother of Christ...they also hate holy matrimony, the sacraments...and they are divided into 20.000 sects and groups...madness!!!

My very favourite Hymn from a child of 6, from Primary School. I still can sing it word for word, today. May HRH The Duke of Edinburgh rest in eternal peace...Requiescat in Pace 😔

[@duchessmawi]

One of my new new favorite hymns!

[@audspod1]

I have always loved this hymn. Thank you.

[@sb6678]

But it is not a new hymn, this is a corruption written by Percy Dearmer in 1906 to a text written by John Bunyan in his Pilgrim’s Progress of 1684. The original opening was ‘Who would true valour see’

[@ds1868]

@@sb6678 The word 'corruption' is perhaps a little unfair. Moderation is always recommended.

[@WaterlooExpat]

@@sb6678 It is new in the sense that not everyone is familiar with it. That includes me, until yesterday. It heard it played on the local classical music station and decided to reacquaint myself with it. It is such a solace during these difficult times.

[@robertwilson123]

A very great hymn from John Bunyan. Nice to see the Queen singing along... Bunyan was imprisoned in 1664 for organising religious meetings outside of the Monarch and Church of England's control.

[@olubibabalola]

One of my favorite hymns.

[@robbierobinson6839]

The grand ardor the melody and texture on the organ this hymn evokes- so sublime.

[@MarthalieThurstonSachemPiper]

A memorable historical event of trumpets, the hymn, and Queen Elizabeth II. Somehow, her steadfast dedicated life and devotion to God, country, and family gave us all some form of stability. Even my little hamlet is northern New England USA.

[@kirubaharanthomas6920]

perfect rendition.glory be to god.

[@gamejacob02]

Oh my goodness this made me cry for Prince Phillip and recently the tragic news about Her Majesty the Queen 🥺😭😭 God Save the Queen

[@teresaapro2932]

I've loved this hymn from childhood. had it sung at my 2nd wedding. What a joke, my now, very ex, kept singing "to be a pilchard!" Should have stuck him in a ''stargazy pie!'. My 3rd and I, 22 years together now, married 13 years, we shot off to Gretna Green in Scotland and what a wonderful day ❤❤❤

[@deondrej.jackson8129]

Poor Beatrice over in the corner sobbing. I’m sure she misses her Grandfather

[@michaelmontagu3979]

It's impossible not to feel sympathy for her.

[@janeafterfroman]

To see Charles, William, and George, future Kings, stunning. For them to be close together here and going forward, opportunity to he Pilgrims.

[@lizb853]

This hymn was sung at my husbands funeral too. HE, rather like HRH the duke of Edinburgh was something of a warrior. Hence that choice of hymn.

[@petercdowney]

This is a hymn that should be sung at the funeral of any Whovian.

Rest in Peace Your Majesty.

[@angelacooper2661]

I like the speed of this rendition. In Eb major, my favourite flat key, with the correct lyrics, (some arrangements have altered the wording). I also like the fanfare of trumpets and descant in the last verse. The TV series Bodyline had this hymn sung during the English tourists voyage to the Antipodes - and in the same key, too (the team formed a choir!)

[@t.robinsonahlstrom2828]

It was the "Puritan," a name given as an insult, who restored true religion to England and who gave birth to what is now called the United States of America. Thanks be to God, the Puritan impulse lives in every age. The English Puritans produced two literary geniuses, Milton and Bunyan. Moreover, while Paradise Lost represents the highest achievement of the English Language, Pilgrim's Progress represents the truest expression of the strenuous Christian life. Milton's epic poem is a singular delight for the well-furnished mind. Bunyan's simple allegory is a faithful roadmap for the common man--or woman! Long live the Queen!

I am very sad to see this after hearing the unfortunate news that His Majesty has passed away. So sad for not being able to have her husband anymore but full of dignity, you can see her in this clip. She will live forever in our hearts. She simple and delicate beauty is incomparable. God save The Queen, long live The King.
