7. The King’s Highway

1 Trav’ling onward to a city bright and fair,
Tears and sorrows never enter there;
Jesus said he would a place prepare
For those in the King’s Highway.

Refrain:
Walking with Jesus, by His side I’ll stay,
Walking with Jesus in the narrow way;
Traveling along together day by day,
Walking in the King’s Highway.

2 There are many who are perishing today,
Treading not the straight and narrow way;
We must go to them without delay
And tell of the King’s Highway. [Refrain]

3 “Go ye into all the world,” the Saviour said,
Tell of Christ—the joyful message spread;
Jesus suffered in the sinner’s stead,
Preparing the King’s Highway. [Refrain]
