Sheet music
- 1In sorrow I wandered, my spirit opprest,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.
- 2For 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.
- 3O 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.
