A highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness.
Isaiah 35:8
Words & Music: Anthony J. Showalter, Showalter’s Gospel Songs No. 2 (Dalton, Georgia: A. J. Showalter, 1901) (🔊 pdf nwc).
We’re bound for glory-land on high,
Walking in the King’s highway;
We’ll reach its mansions by and by,
Walking in the King’s high-way.
Refrain
Walking in the King’s high-way,
Walking in the King’s high-way;
And life is grand and glorious,
Walking in the King’s high-way.
This is the way our fathers trod,
Walking in the King’s high-way;
The way that leads to Heav’n and God,
Walking in the King’s high-way.
Refrain
The lame shall leap, the dumb shall sing,
Walking in the King’s high-way;
In desert lands shall burst a spring,
Walking in the King’s high-way.
Refrain
No unclean thing may pass this road,
Walking in the King’s high-way;
But burdened souls may here unload,
Walking in the King’s high-way.
Refrain
No lions here, nor raging beast,
Walking in the King’s high-way;
But ransomed souls as kings and priests,
Walking in the King’s high-way.
Refrain
We sing glad songs of joy and peace,
Walking in the King’s high-way;
From doubt and fear we’ve found release,
Walking in the King’s high-way.
