Artist: Dwight Brock and Rev. John B. Matthias Song: Palms of Victory- 1836 [Verse 1]
G                              D7                G
I saw the wayward traveler, in tattered garments clad

                                   D7                 G
And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that he was sad

                              D7                  G
His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone

                                 D7               G
But he shouted as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!"
[Chorus 1]
                       D7        G
Then Palms of Victory, Crowns of Glory

                  D7      G
Palms of victory, I shall wear
[Verse 2]
G                               D7               G
The summer sun was shining, the sweat was on his brow

                                 D7               G
His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed very slow

                                 D7             G
But he kept pressing onward, for he was wending home

                                 D7               G
Still shouting as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!"
[Chorus 2]
                       D7        G
Then Palms of Victory, Crowns of Glory

                  D7      G
Palms of victory, I shall wear
[Verse 3]
G                                D7               G
The songsters in the arbor, that stood beside the way

                              D7       G
Attracted his attention, invited his delay

                                  D7                   G
His watchword being "Onward!", he stopped his ears and ran

                                 D7               G
Still shouting as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!"
[Chorus 3]
                       D7        G
Then Palms of Victory, Crowns of Glory

                  D7      G
Palms of victory, I shall wear
[Verse 4]
G                             D7              G
I saw him in the evening, the sun was bending low

                                    D7                  G
He had overtopped the mountain, and reached the vale below

                                D7      G
He saw the golden city, his everlasting home

                            D7               G
And shouted loud, "Hosanna! Deliverance will come!"
[Chorus 4]
                       D7        G
Then Palms of Victory, Crowns of Glory

                  D7      G
Palms of victory, I shall wear
[Verse 5]
G                                 D7            G
I heard the Song of Triumph they sang among the shore

                              D7             G
Saying “Jesus has redeemed us to suffer nevermore!”

                                  D7                G
Then casting eyes backward on the race which he had run,

                           D7              G
He shouted loud, “Hosanna! Deliverence has come!”
[Chorus 5]
                       D7        G
Then Palms of Victory, Crowns of Glory

                  D7      G
Palms of victory, I shall wear
[Verse 6]
G                                 D7            G
It seems I hear the angels around the throne so grand

                                   D7                  G
They’re shouting glad “Hosanna! We reached the Promise Land”

                                    D7                  G
When we have reached that city, our race on Earth we’ve run,

                               D7              G
We’ll all shout loud “Hosanna! Deliverance has come!
[Chorus 6]
                       D7        G
Then Palms of Victory, Crowns of Glory

                  D7      G
Palms of victory, I shall wear
[Verse 7]
G                                D7            G
While gazing on the city, just o'er the narrow flood

                           D7                 G
A band of holy angels came from the throne of God

                                D7                   G
They bore him on their pinions safe o'er the dashing foam

                                 D7             G
And joined him in his triumph, "Deliverance has come!"
[Chorus 7]
                       D7        G
Then Palms of Victory, Crowns of Glory

                  D7      G
Palms of victory, I shall wear
