Answer 5

Possibly 'when a knight won his spurs'

When a knight won his spurs in the stories of old

He was gentle and brave he was gallant and bold

With a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand

For God and for valour he rode through the land

No charger have I and no sword by my side

Yet still to adventure and battle I ride

Though back into storyland giants have fled

And the knights are no more and the dragons are dead

So let faith be my shield and let hope be my steed

Against the dragons of anger the ogres of greed

And let me set free with the sword of my youth

From the castle of darkness the power of the truth

Answer 8

No. 377. When a knight won his spurs in the stories of old

Tune: Stowey , from an English traditional melody.

    When a knight won his spurs, in the stories of old,

    He was gentle and brave, he was gallant and bold;

    With a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand

    For God and for valour he rode through the land.

    No charger have I, and no sword by my side,

    Yet still to adventure and battle I ride,

    Though back into storyland giants have fled,

    And the knights are no more and the dragons are dead.

    Let faith be my shield and let joy be my steed

    'Gainst the dragons of anger, the ogres of greed;

    And let me set free, with the sword of my youth,

    From the castle of darkness the power of the truth.
