Daniel 3:25

[Dan 3:25] The Bloodwashed Pilgrim
I saw a wayworn traveler, in tattered garments clad,
And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that he was sad;
His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone,
Yet he shouted as he journeyed, “Deliverance will come!”Refrain
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,
Palms of victory I shall wear.The summer sun was shining, the sweat was on his brow,
His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed very slow;
But he kept pressing onward, for he was wending home,
Still shouting as he journeyed, “Deliverance will come!”Refrain
The songsters in the arbor that stood beside the way
Attracted his attention, inviting his delay:
His watchword being “Onward!” he stopped his ears and ran,
Still shouting as he journeyed, “Deliverance will come!”Refrain
I saw him in the evening; the sun was bending low;
He’d overtopped the mountain, and reached the vale below:
He saw the Golden City—his everlasting home—
And shouted loud, “Hosanna! Deliverance will come!”Refrain
While gazing on that city, just o’er the narrow flood,
A band of holy angels came from the throne of God;
They bore him on their pinions safe o’er the dashing foam,
And joined him in his triumph: Deliverance had come!Refrain
I heard the song of triumph they sang upon that shore,
Saying, “Jesus has redeemed us to suffer nevermore!”
Then casting his eyes backward on the race which he had run,
He shouted loud, “Hosanna! Deliverance has come!”Refrain
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.”Refrain
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.”Refrain
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.”Refrain
’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.”Refrain
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.Refrain

Daniel 7:13
-
[Dan 7:13] O Son Of Man
O Son of Man! Thy Name by choice,
Our hope, our joy, our life,
Make us like Thee, whose gentle voice
Was never heard in strife.Holy and harmless, undefiled
On earth Thou went’st alone;
Cam’st from the depths of heaven a child,
To make the lost Thine own.To be a glory in our night,
And bring us from above
The way Heav’n’s children live, all bright
With self forgetting love.In all things like Thy brethren made,
O teach us how to be
With meekness, gentleness arrayed
In all things like to Thee.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Dan 7:13] O Son Of Man, Our Hero Strong And Tender
O Son of Man, our Hero strong and tender,
Whose servants are the brave in all the earth,
Our living sacrifice to Thee we render,
Who sharest all our sorrows, all our mirth.O feet so strong to climb the path of duty,
O lips divine that taught the words of truth,
Kind eyes that marked the lilies in their beauty,
And heart that kindled at the zeal of youth.Lover of children, boyhood’s inspiration,
Of all mankind the Servant and the King;
O Lord of joy and hope and consolation,
To Thee our fears and joys and hopes we bring.Not in our failures only and our sadness
We seek Thy presence, Comforter and Friend;
O rich man’s Guest, be with us in our gladness,
O poor man’s Mate, our lowliest tasks attend.Play source: Cyberhymnal
