THE WAY WORN  TRAVELER [Verse] I saw a way worn 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 It shouted as he journeyed ’’Deliverance will come!" [Chorus] Then palms of victory crowns of glory Palms of victory I shall wear. 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] Then palms of victory crowns of glory Palms of victory I shall wear. The songstress 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] Then palms of victory crowns of glory Palms of victory I shall wear. While gazing on that city just o’er that narrow flood A band of holy angels came from the throne of God. They bore him on their pinions they bore the dashing foam And joined him in his triumph "Deliverance has come!" [Chorus] Then palms of victory crowns of glory Palms of victory I shall wear.
