One Day I Traveled a Toilsome Road

One day I tra­veled a toil­some road

Over the hills of des­pair;

One day I car­ried a wea­ry load

Cumbered with toil and with care.

The bur­den that once I car­ried is gone

is gone

Of all my sins there re­main­eth not one

not one.

Jesus

the Sav­ior

hath ran­somed me

Bearing my sins up­on Cal­va­ry

Giving me glo­ri­ous li­ber­ty;

My bur­den of sin is gone.

Gone is the night with its sha­dows drear;

Morning hath dawned up­on me.

Gone is the bur­den of anx­ious fear;

Freedom my por­tion shall be.

No more the bur­den of guilt is mine;

No more in bond­age I dwell.

Unto my glo­ri­ous king di­vine

Jubilant prais­es shall swell.
