PALMS OF VICTORY
by Jericho Road Quartet
I saw a wayward traveler, in tattered garments clad,
And struggling up the mountain it seemed that he was sad;
His back was heavy laden, his strength was almost gone,
But he shouted as he journeyed, deliverance has 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 overcome the mountain, and reached the vale below;
But he saw that golden city, his everlasting home,
And he shouted loud Hosanna, deliverance will come.
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,
Palms of victory, I shall wear.
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 they bore the dashing foam,
And joined him in his triumph deliverance has come.
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,
Palms of victory, I shall wear.
It seems I hear the angels around the throne so grand,
They're shouting, "Glad Hosanna,
We've reached the promised land!"
When we have reached that city, our race on earth we've run,
We'll all shout, "Glad Hosanna, deliverance has come!"
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,
Palms of victory, I shall wear.
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,
Palms of victory, I shall wear.
