Precious Hymns for Times of Refreshing and Revival ‎#58

58. In the King’s Highway

1 We are trav’ling on thro’ a world of sin,
There are foes without, there are fears within;
But our hearts grow strong as we march along,
And our steps keep time to the joyful song.

Refrain:
We are going, going home to the realms of day,
We are going, going home in the King’s highway;
In the King’s highway, in the King’s highway,
Oh, glory be to God! in the King’s highway.

2 We are trav’ling on thro’ a world of care,
And for each and all there’s a cross to bear;
But a crown more bright then the stars of night,
We can see by faith at the gates of life. [Refrain]

3 We are trav’ling on to a happy rest,
By the King prepared for the pure and blest,
And we soon shall stand at his own right hand,
And his welcome hear in the soul’s fair land. [Refrain]
