Lyrics

We shall see the de­sert as the rose,
Walking in the King’s high­way;
There’ll be sing­ing where sal­va­tion goes,
Walking in the King’s high­way.

Refrain

There’s a high­way there and a way,
Where sor­row shall flee away;
And the light shines bright as the day,
Walking in the King’s high­way.

We shall see the glo­ry of the Lord,
Walking in the King’s high­way;
And be­hold the beau­ty of His Word,
Walking in the King’s high­way.

Refrain

There the rain shall come up­on the ground,
Walking in the King’s high­way;
And the springs of wa­ter will be found,
Walking in the King’s high­way.

Refrain

There no ra­ven­ous beast shall make afraid,
Walking in the King’s high­way;
For the pu­ri­fied the way was made,
Walking in the King’s highway.

Refrain

No un­clean things shall pass o’er here,
Walking in the King’s high­way;
But the ran­somed ones with­out a fear,
Walking in the King’s high­way.
