THE WAY WORN TRAVELER
[Verse]
I sGaw a way worn traveler in tDattered garments cGlad,
And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that Dhe was sGad.
His back was laden heavy, his Dstrength was almost gGone,
It shouted as he journeyed, ''DeliveDrance will Gcome!"
[Chorus]
GThen palms of victory, Dcrowns of Gglory,
Palms of victory DI shall wear.
The Gsummer sun was shining, the Dsweat was on his Gbrow,
His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed Dvery sloGw.
But he kept pressing onward, Dfor he was wending hoGme,
Still shouting as he journeyed, "DeliveDrance will Gcome!"
[Chorus]
GThen palms of victory, Dcrowns of Gglory,
Palms of victory DI shall wear.
The soGngstress in the arbor, that Dstood beside the wGay,
Attracted his attention, inviting Dhis delaGy.
His watchword being "Onward!" he sDtopped his ears and rGan,
Still shouting as he journeyed, ''DeliveDrance will Gcome!"
[Chorus]
GThen palms of victory, Dcrowns of Gglory,
Palms of victory DI shall wear.
While Ggazing on that city, just oD'er that narrow flGood
A band of holy angels came from the thrDone of GGod.
They bore him on their pinions, theDy bore the dashing foGam,
And joined him in his triumph, "DelivDerance has Gcome!"
[Chorus]
GThen palms of victory, Dcrowns of Gglory,
Palms of victory DI shall wear.
