Lyrics

I saw a blood washed pilgrim
A sinner saved by grace
Upon the king's highway, with peaceful, shining face;
Temptations sore beset him
But nothing could afright;
He said, "the yoke is easy, the burden, it is light."

Then palms of victory, crowns of glory
Palms of victory I shall wear

His helmet was salvation, a simple faith his shield
And righteousness his breastplate
The spirit's sword he'd wield
All fiery darts arrested
And quenched their blazing flight;
He cried "the yoke is easy, the burden, it is light."

I saw him in the furnace; he doubted not, 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 cried, "the yoke is easy, the burden, it is light."

'Mid storms, and clouds, and trials
In prison, at the stake
He leaped for joy, rejoicing, 'twas all for jesus' sake;
That god should count him worthy
Was such supreme delight
He cried, "the yoke is easy, the burden, is so light."

I saw him overcoming, through all the swelling strife
Until he crossed the threshold of god's eternal life;
The crown, the throne, the scepter, the name, the stone so white
Were his, who found, in jesus, the yoke and burden light
