In sorrow I wandered,
my spirit oppressed,
But now I am happy—
securely I rest;
From morning till evening
glad carols I sing,
And this is the reason—
I walk with the King.
I walk with the King, hallelujah!
I walk with the King, praise His Name!
No longer I roam, my soul faces home,
I walk and I talk with the King.
For years in the fetters
of sin I was bound,
The world could not help me—
no comfort I found;
But now like the birds
and the sunbeams of spring,
I’m free and rejoicing—
I walk with the King.
I walk with the King, hallelujah!
I walk with the King, praise His Name!
No longer I roam, my soul faces home,
I walk and I talk with the King.
O soul near despair
in the lowlands of strife,
Look up and let Jesus
come into your life;
The joy of salvation
to you He would bring—
Come into the sunlight
and walk with the King.
I walk with the King, hallelujah!
I walk with the King, praise His Name!
No longer I roam, my soul faces home,
I walk and I talk with the King.
