Music & HymnsOne Day I Traveled A Toilsome Road

"There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1


Courtesy of Lillenas Publishing Company

Words & Music: Haldor Lillenas, 1923

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

No more the burden of guilt is mine;
No more in bondage I dwell.
Unto my glorious King divine
Jubilant praises shall swell.

Refrain
