Psalms Of Victory

I saw a wayward traveler in tattered garments clad

While struggling up the mountain

it seemed that he was sad.

His back was laden heavy

his strength was almost gone

Yet shouted as he journeyed

"Deliverance will come."

Then palms of victory

crowns of glory

Palms of victory

I shall wear.

I saw him in the evening

the sun was sinking low

He'd overtopped the mountain and reached the vale below.

While gazing toward that city

his everlasting home

He shouted loud hosannas

"Deliverance will come."

I saw him overcoming thru all the swelling strife

Until he crossed the threshold of God's eternal life.

The crown

the robe

the scepter

the name

the stone so white

Were his who found in Jesus

the yoke and burden light.

He saw the Holy city

his everlasting home.

A band of Holy angels all gathered round God's throne.

They bore Him on their pinions safe o'er the dashing foam

And they shouted "Hallelujah

deliverance has come."
