Lyrics

In the highway of the King I’m walking,
From the valley of the world I’ve turned;
In the highway of the King I’m walking,
I am happy in the love once spurned.

Refrain

In the highway of the King I’m walking,
And the light is shining brighter every day;
In the highway of the King I’m walking,
With my Sav­ior close beside me all the way.

In the highway of the King I’m walking,
Heaven’s glo­ry shining round my head;
In the highway of the King I’m walking,
Love and service crown the path I tread.

Refrain

In the highway of the King I’m walking,
Nevermore in sinful paths to roam;
In the highway of the King I’m walking,
Ever onward till He calls me home.
