The gospel song, Palms of Victory, also called “Deliverance Will Come,” and “The Way-worn Traveler,” was evidently written in 1836 by the Rev. John B. Matthias, a Methodist Episcopal minister in New York state. This attribution is not well documented, and Matthias had no known history of song-writing, but there is no other author to whom it can be attributed (See below). The lyrics and tune can be seen at the "American Libraries" web site.〔()〕 ==History of use== “Palms of Victory” has not been widely used in church circles. It seems to have been published in only four “standard” hymnals published it between 1900 and 1966: the Mennonite ''Church and Sunday-school Hymnal'' of 1902 (hymn no. 132), ''Glorious Gospel Hymns'' (Nazarene) of 1931(hymn no. 132 as "The Bloodwashed Pilgrim"),〔Lillenas, Haldor(ed). ''Glorious Gospel Hymns''. Kansas City, MO: Lillenas Publishing Company, 1931〕 the African Methodist Episcopal hymnal of 1954,〔''A.M.E. Hymnal: With Responsive Scripture Readings Adopted in Conformity with the Doctrines and Usages of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.'' NP:A.M.E. Sunday School Union, 1954.〕 and the National Baptist Convention hymnal of 1961 (hymn #333)〔Townsend, Mrs. A. M.(ed). ''The Baptist Standard Hymnal With Responsive Readings.'' Nashville, TN: Sunday School Publishing Board, National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., 1961.〕 In 1893, it had been included in the Seventh-day Adventist hymnal as #1145〔''The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book for use in Divine Worship''. Battle Creek, MI: Review and Herald Publishing House, 1893.〕 An informal survey of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century gospel song books found the song included in a small number of collections.〔〔〔 In the early 1920s, the song was recorded by the Carter Family〔Recorded under the title “Wayworn Traveler.” Available on several CDs, including the 12 CD box set, “The Carter Family: In the Shadow of Clinch Mountain."〕 and by Uncle Dave Macon. In 1962 or 1963, Bob Dylan picked it up, changed the words, and wrote “Paths of Victory” which he sang on a Westinghouse television special. Dylan’s version was published in Broadside Magazine, and recorded by other artists.〔〔()〕 In 1995 the "Bloodwashed Pilgrim" version of the song was recorded by Crystal Lewis and included in her album entitled "Hymns: My Life." The University of California has several fight songs, one of which is sometimes called "Palms of Victory," and includes the words "Palms of victory we will win for Alma Mater true."〔http://www.fightsonglyrics.com〕 This is not the gospel song, but instead takes its melody from a minstrel song known as "Springtime in Dixieland" or "Happy Days in Dixieland." In recent years, "Palms of Victory," under various titles, has been recorded by various country singers.〔For example, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris recorded it and it was released on the Rhino recording, ''Songbird: Rare Tracks and Forgotten Gems''.〕 Wayne Erbsen notes that the tune was used for a protest song called "Pans of Biscuits," with the chorus lyrics being "Pans of biscuits, bowls of gravy/Pans of biscuits we shall have."〔Erbsen, Wayne. ''Old Time Gospel Songbook.'' Pacific, MO: MelBay Publications, p. 56.〕 It has also been recorded by Guy Penrod when he was a member of the Gaither Vocal Band, a Southern Gospel Group led by Bill Gaither. The song was featured in at least one Gaither Homecoming Video Title: The Hawaiian Homecoming. It is possible that it was recorded in more videos than that.〔"Hawaiian Homecoming DVD & CD."
