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.
Refrain: 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.
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.
