Walking in the King’s Highway (Showalter)

Composer: Anthony Showalter, 1901

We’re bound for glo­ry-land on high

Walking in the King’s high­way;

We’ll reach its man­sions by and by

Walking in the King’s high­way.

Walking in the King’s high­way

Walking in the King’s high­way;

And life is grand and glo­ri­ous

Walking in the King’s high­way.

This is the way our fa­thers trod

Walking in the King’s high­way;

The way that leads to Heav’n and God

Walking in the King’s high­way.

The lame shall leap

the dumb shall sing

Walking in the King’s high­way;

In de­sert lands shall burst a spring

Walking in the King’s high­way.

No un­clean thing may pass this road

Walking in the King’s high­way;

But bur­dened souls may here unload

Walking in the King’s high­way.

No li­ons here

nor rag­ing beast

Walking in the King’s high­way;

But ran­somed souls as kings and priests

Walking in the King’s high­way.

We sing glad songs of joy and peace

Walking in the King’s high­way;

From doubt and fear we’ve found re­lease

Walking in the King’s high­way.
