Shouting Up the King’s Highway

Oh! a glor­ious time is com­ing

When the Lord des­cends the skies

And the trump of God pro­claims the judg­ment day;

Yes

the saints of all the ag­es

With the liv­ing shall arise

And go shout­ing up the King’s high­way!

There’ll be shout­ing up the King’s high­way;

There’ll be shout­ing up the King’s high­way;

In pos­sess­ion of the pro­mise

With the Lord for aye to be

There’ll be shout­ing up the King’s highway!

’Tis a blessèd hope and promise

That our Lord will come again

King of kings and Lord of lords to reign for aye;

Then we’ll rise to life eternal

Fraught with joy that ne’er shall wane

And go shouting up the King’s highway!

That will be a grand reunion

When our Savior shall appear

With a host of mighty angels on that day;

Yes

we’ll join the heav’nly chorus

With our friends we love so dear

And go shouting up the King’s highway!
