The Royal Road

There’s a roy­al high­way lead­ing

To the King’s sub­lime ab­ode;

And I seek a home in glo­ry

Walking in that roy­al road.

O the bless­èd roy­al road

O the bless­èd roy­al road;

Will you go with me to glo­ry

Walking in the roy­al road?

O’er the high­way Je­sus tra­veled

Up the hill of Cal­va­ry trod

That He might a path make op­en

Leading to the throne of God.

As I jour­ney o’er the high­way

To the coun­try of my king

Oft by faith I hear the ec­ho

From the land where an­gels sing.

Oft a glad

en­tranc­ing vi­sion

To my spirit is be­stowed;

’Tis the ci­ty

bright

eter­nal

Whither leads the roy­al road.
