I Walk With the King

James Rowe (1913) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 45:1

Verse 1

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.

Chorus

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.

Verse 2

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.

Chorus

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.

Verse 3

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.

Chorus

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.
