|
I saw a blood washed pilgrim, a sinner saved by grace |
|
Up on the king's great highway, with peaceful shining face |
|
Temptations sore beset him, but nothing could a fright |
|
He said the yoke is easy, the burden it is light |
|
Palms of victory, crowns of glory |
|
Palms of victory i shall wear |
|
I saw him in the furnace, he neither doubted nor feared |
|
And in the flames beside him the son of god appeared |
|
Though seven times 'twas heated, with all the tempters might |
|
He said the yoke is easy, the burden it is light |
|
I saw him overcoming, through all the swelling strife |
|
I saw him cross the threshold of god's eternal life |
|
The crown, the throne the scepter, the name |
|
The stone so white for those who are found in jesus |
|
The burden it is light |
