Lyrics

There’s a royal highway leading
To the King’s sublime abode;
And I seek a home in glo­ry,
Walking in that royal road.

Refrain

O the blessèd royal road,
O the blessèd royal road;
Will you go with me to glo­ry,
Walking in the royal road?

O’er the highway Je­sus traveled,
Up the hill of Calvary trod,
That He might a path make open,
Leading to the throne of God.

Refrain

As I journey o’er the highway
To the country of my king,
Oft by faith I hear the echo
From the land where angels sing.

Refrain

Oft a glad, entrancing vision
To my spirit is bestowed;
’Tis the city, bright, eter­nal,
Whither leads the royal road.
