Deliverance Will Come

Author: John B. Matthias Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1213 First Line: I saw a wayworn traveler, in tattered garments clad Refrain First Line: Then palms of victory, crowns of glory Lyrics: 1. I saw a wayworn traveler, in tattered garments clad, And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that he was sad; His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone, Yet he shouted as he journeyed, Deliverance will come! Refrain Then palms of victory, crowns of glory, Palms of victory I shall wear. 2. The summer sun was shining, the sweat was on his brow, His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed very slow; But he kept pressing onward, for he was wending home, Still shouting as he journeyed, Deliverance will come! [Refrain] 3. The songsters in the arbor that stood beside the way Attracted his attention, inviting his delay: His watchword being Onward! he stopped his ears and ran, Still shouting as he journeyed, Deliverance will come! [Refrain] 4. I saw him in the evening; the sun was bending low; He’d overtopped the mountain, and reached the vale below: He saw the Golden City—his everlasting home— And shouted loud, Hosanna! Deliverance will come! [Refrain] 5. While gazing on that city, just o’er the narrow flood, A band of holy angels came from the throne of God; They bore him on their pinions safe o’er the dashing foam, And joined him in his triumph: Deliverance had come! [Refrain] 6. I heard the song of triumph they sang upon that shore, Saying, Jesus has redeemed us to suffer nevermore! Then casting his eyes backward on the race which he had run, He shouted loud, Hosanna! Deliverance has come! [Refrain] This version appeared in The Finest of the Wheat, No. 2 (Chicago, Illinois: R. R. McCabe & Co., 1894). 1. I saw a blood washed pilgrim, a sinner saved by grace, Upon the King’s highway, with peaceful, shining face; Temptations sore beset him, but nothing could afright; He said, The yoke is easy, the burden, it is light. Refrain Then palms of victory, crowns of glory, Palms of victory I shall wear. 2. His helmet was salvation, a simple faith his shield, And righteousness his breastplate, the spirit’s sword he’d wield. All fiery darts arrested, and quenched their blazing flight; He cried The yoke is easy, the burden, it is light. [Refrain] 3. I saw him in the furnace; he doubted not, nor feared, And in the flames beside him, the Son of God appeared; Though seven times ’twas heated, with all the tempter’s might, He cried, The yoke is easy, the burden, it is light. [Refrain] 4. ’Mid storms, and clouds, and trials, in prison, at the stake, He leaped for joy, rejoicing, ’twas all for Jesus’ sake; That God should count him worthy, was such supreme delight, He cried, The yoke is easy, the burden, is so light. [Refrain] 5. I saw him overcoming, through all the swelling strife, Until he crossed the threshold of God’s eternal life; The crown, the throne, the scepter, the name, the stone so white, Were his, who found, in Jesus, the yoke and burden light.

I saw a wayworn traveler

Author: John B. Matthias Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1145 (1886) Lyrics: 1 I saw a wayworn traveler, In tattered garments clad, And struggling up the mountain; It seemed that he was sad; His back was laden heavy, His strength was almost gone, He shouted as he journeyed, Deliverance will come. Chorus: Then palms of victory, crowns of glory, Palms of victory we shall bear. 2 The summer sun was shining, The sweat was on his brow, His garments worn and dusty, His step seemed very slow: But he kept pressing onward, For he was wending home; Still shouting as he journeyed, Deliverance will come. [Chorus] 3 The songsters in the arbor That stood beside the way Attracted his attention, Inviting his delay; His watchword being "Onward!" He stopped his ears, and ran, Still shouting as he journeyed, Deliverance will come. [Chorus] 4 I saw him in the evening, The sun was bending low; He'd overtopped the mountain, And reached the vale below; His eyes were dim and heavy, His journey, it was done; He shouted, as it ended, Deliverance will come! [Chorus] 5 They closed the blinds around him, And locked him up alone, That nothing might disturb him Till his best Friend should come. Hope made for him a pillow, And faith, a garment rare, To keep him in his slumbers Till Jesus should appear. [Chorus] 6 At length the trumpet sounded, The shadows fled away, The gilded rays of glory Proclaimed the coming day; Then when the light of morning Broke in his little room, He rose, and cried, Hosanna! Deliverance has come! [Chorus] 7 I heard the song of triumph He sang upon that shore, Saying, Jesus has redeemed me, I'll suffer now no more; And casting his eyes backward On the face that he had run, He raised the loud hosanna, Deliverance has come!
