Blood Washed Pilgrim Lyrics

I saw a blood washed pilgrim
A sinner saved by grace
Upon 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
Crown 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 tempter's might
He said the yoke was easy
The burden, it is light

Palms of victory
Crown of glory
Palms of victory
I shall wear

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

Palms of victory
Crown of glory
Palms of victory
I shall wear

(Spoken: For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures. That he was crucified, died, and was buried... 1 Cor 15:3+)
