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!

Refrain

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!

Refrain

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!

Refrain
