Cat. #0915 (MFH #529) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on September 16, 1969
VERSE 1
I saw a way worn traveler
Spotted garment clad
As he struggled up th mountain
He seen that he was sad
His back was heavy laden
His strength was almost gone
Yet he shouted as he journeyed
Delivrance will come
CHORUS:
Then Palms of Victory, crowns of Glory
Palms of Vic-to-ry, I shall wear
VERSE 2
I saw 'im in th even'in'
Th sun was set'in' low
As he struggled up th mont'in
He bleached th gulf below
He saw th Holy City
His ever lastin' home
Yet he shouted as he journeyed
Deliverance will come
