21. Upon the King's highway

1 Upon the King's highway
We journey day by day;
We love the path we've chosen,
and from it would not stray;
'Neath banner of the Lord,
And moving at his word,
We're marching on to Canaan,
singing all the way.

Refrain:
Singing all the way, singing all the way;
To him we raise our songs of praise
Who guides us day by day.
Singing all the way, singing all the way;
Our hearts o'erflow, we homeward go,
Singing all the way.

2 We trust amid our tears,
We smile amid our tears;
"Fear not for I am with you,"
we hear the Saviour say;
And so, whate'er may come,
We journey to our home,
And follow where he leads us,
singing all the way, [Refrain]

3 And valiantly we'll go,
Ne'er halting for the foe;
Our Captain's word is "onward,"
and here we cannot stay;
Our journey's end we see.
At rest we soon shall be,
For fast we're homeward wending,
singing all the way [Refrain]
