Blood washed pilgrim

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
