Wherever you may be,
Whatever you may see,
That would lead you into evil, say you nay,
I will not turn aside;
Whatever may betide,
I’ll keep along the middle
Of the King’s highway.

Refrain

The King’s highway, the King’s highway,
I’ll keep along the middle
Of the King’s highway;
I will not turn aside;
Whatever may betide,
I’ll keep along the middle
Of the King’s highway.

The meadows may be green,
Where bypath stile is seen,
Turn aside, the little flowers seem to say;
Be sure you take no heed—
They’re trying to mislead—
Just keep along the middle
Of the King’s highway.

Refrain

For on enchanted ground,
There’s danger all around,
And a thousand pleasant voices bid you stay,
With fingers stop your ears,
And ne­ver mind the jeers,
Just keep along the middle
Of the King’s highway.

Refrain

Our God will guide us right,
And walking in the light,
We shall win a crown of glo­ry in the day,
When Je­sus calls His own
Together round the throne,
Who keep along the middle
Of the King’s highway.

Refrain
