Song for the Journey


...a beautiful song for the journey...

I WALK THE KING'S HIGHWAY

I know not where the road will lead
I follow day by day
Or where it ends, I only know
I walk the King's highway. 
 
I know not if the way is long
And no one else can say
But rough or smooth, up hill or down
I walk the King’s highway.

And some I love have reached the end
But some with me may stay
Their faith and hope still guiding me
I walk the King’s highway.

The way is truth, the way is love,
For light and strength I pray,
And through the years of life, to God,
I walk the King’s highway.

The countless hosts lead on before
I must not fear nor stray
With them, the pilgrims of the faith
I walk the King’s highway.
 

Through light and dark the road leads on
Till dawns the endless day
When I shall know why in this life
I walk the King’s highway.


- E.A. Cummins, 1922
