In sor­row I wan­dered, my spir­it op­pressed,
But now I am hap­py—se­cure­ly I rest;
From morn­ing till ev­en­ing glad ca­rols I sing,
And this is the rea­son—I walk with the King.

Refrain

I walk with the King, hal­le­lu­jah!
I walk with the King, praise His name!
No long­er I roam, my soul fac­es home,
I walk and I talk with the King.

For years in the fet­ters of sin I was bound,
The world could not help me—no com­fort I found;
But now like the birds and the sun­beams of spring,
I’m free and re­joic­ing—I walk with the King.

Refrain

O soul near des­pair in the low­lands of strife,
Look up and let Je­sus come in­to your life;
The joy of sal­va­tion to you He would bring—
Come in­to the sun­light and walk with the King.

Refrain
