On the high­way of the King,
Children’s hap­py voic­es ring,
Songs of joy and glad­ness sing­ing,
To our God above.
Many round us, press­ing on,
Gain new cour­age with the song,
Unto the wear­ied, hope ’tis bring­ing,
Of sweet rest and love.

Refrain

Then on the high­way of the King,
Far let the sil­ve­ry ech­oes ring,
Listening hearts that pass along,
Linger to hear the song.
All who jour­ney on the road,
Leading ev­er on to God,
Join with the child­ren,
Glad praises sing­ing,
To the King.

On the high­way of the King,
Far and hard the jour­ney­ing;
All the pray­ers, thy foot­steps heed­ing,
Only God has known.
Little child­ren, walk in love,
Lift your eyes to Heav’n above;
Long though the way, at last ’tis lead­ing,
To the heav’n­ly throne.

Refrain
