Wherever you may be,
whatever you may see,
That would lead you into evil,
say you nay,
I will not turn aside;
whatever may betide,
I’ll keep along the middle
of the King’s highway.
The King’s highway,
the King’s highway,
I’ll keep along the middle
of the King’s highway;
I will not turn aside;
whatever may betide,
I’ll keep along the middle
of the King’s highway.
The meadows may be green,
where bypath stile is seen,
Turn aside, the little flowers
seem to say;
Be sure you take no heed—
they’re trying to mislead—
Just keep along the middle
of the King’s highway.
The King’s highway,
the King’s highway,
I’ll keep along the middle
of the King’s highway;
I will not turn aside;
whatever may betide,
I’ll keep along the middle
of the King’s highway.
For on enchanted ground,
there’s danger all around,
And a thousand pleasant voices
bid you stay,
With fingers stop your ears,
and never mind the jeers,
Just keep along the middle
of the King’s highway.
The King’s highway,
the King’s highway,
I’ll keep along the middle
of the King’s highway;
I will not turn aside;
whatever may betide,
I’ll keep along the middle
of the King’s highway.
Our God will guide us right,
and walking in the light,
We shall win a crown
of glory in the day,
When Jesus calls His own
together round the throne,
Who keep along the middle
of the King’s highway.
The King’s highway,
the King’s highway,
I’ll keep along the middle
of the King’s highway;
I will not turn aside;
whatever may betide,
I’ll keep along the middle
of the King’s highway.
