The Blood-washed Pilgrim Tab uke di Gospel Music

F
I saw a Blood-washed pilgrim,
F C               F
A sinner saved by grace,
C  F             Bb    F
Up-on the King's great highway
F    C7    F        Bb  F
With peace-ful shin-ing face.
F
Temptations sore beset him,
F   C                F
But nothing could af-fright.
C  F               Bb F
He said: "The yoke is easy;
F   C7  F       Bb F
The bur-den, it is light."

Refrain: (Sing twice)
F
Then palms of victory,
C         F
Crowns of glory,
F     Bb F      C7/F F/C7 F
Palms of victory I shall wear.

Verse 2:
F
I saw him in the furnace.
F  C               F
He doubted not nor feared,
C   F             Bb F
And in the flames be-side him
F   C7  F      Bb F
The Son of God ap-peared.
F
Tho' seven times was heated
F    C                 F
With all the tempter's might,
C  F               Bb F
He said: "The yoke is easy;
F   C7  F       Bb F
The bur-den, it is light."

Verse 3:
F
'Mid storms, and clouds, and trials,
F  C              F
In prison, at the stake,
C  F              Bb F
He leaped for joy re-joicing
F     C7  F      Bb   F
'Twas all for Je-sus' sake
F
That God should count him worthy
F   C               F
Was such supreme de-light,

He cried: "The yoke is easy;
F   C7  F       Bb F
The bur-den, is so light."

Verse 4:
F
I saw him overcoming,
F     C                F
Thro' all the swelling strife
C  F              Bb  F
Un-til he crossed the threshold
F  C7    F    Bb  F
Of God's eter-nal life.
F
The crown, the throne, the scepter,
F   C                  F
The name, the stone so white
C    F             Bb F
Were his who found in Jesus
F   C7   F       Bb  F
The yoke and bur-den light.
