Appears in 112 hymnals First Line: I saw a wayworn trav'ler Refrain First Line: Then palms of victory 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] Used With Tune: [I saw a wayworn trav'ler]

The Pilgrim Company

Appears in 170 hymnals First Line: What poor despised company Refrain First Line: I had rather be the least of them Lyrics: 1 What poor, despised company Of travelers are these, Who walk in yonder narrow way, Along that rugged maze? Refrain: I had rather be the least of them, Who are the Lord's alone, Than wear a royal diadem, And sit upon a throne. And sit upon a throne, And sit upon a throne; Than wear a royal diadem, And sit upon a throne. 2 Ah, these are of a royal line, All children of a King, Heirs of immortal life divine, And lo! for joy they sing! [Refrain] 3 Why do they, then, appear so mean? And why so much despised? Because of their rich robes unseen, The world is not apprised. [Refrain] 4 But some of them seem poor, distressed, And lacking daily bread; Ah! they're of boundless wealth possessed With heavenly manna fed. [Refrain] 5 Why do they shun the pleasing path That worldlings love so well? Because it is the way to death, The open road to hell. [Refrain] 6 But why keep they that narrow road, That rugged, thorny maze? Why that's the way their Leader trod, They love and keep his ways. [Refrain] 7 What, is there then no other road To Salem's happy ground? Christ is the only way to God, None other can be found. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [What poor despised company]
