"Today in every land Christians are uniting to build a Kingdom
which shall have no geographical bounds, no limitations of race,
no barriers or caste or class."

Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's commands,
Immortal tidings in your mortal hands,
Pass on and carry swift the news you bring;
Make straight, make straight,
The highway of the King.
Immortal tidings in your mortal hands,
Pass on and carry swift the news you bring;
Make straight, make straight,
The highway of the King.
Through desert ways, dark fen and deep morass,
through jungles, sluggish seas, and mountain pass,
Build now the road, and falter not, nor stay;
Prepare across the earth the King's highway.
through jungles, sluggish seas, and mountain pass,
Build now the road, and falter not, nor stay;
Prepare across the earth the King's highway.
Where once the twisting trail in darkness wound,
Let marching feet and joyous song resound,
Where burn the funeral pyres, and censers swing,
Let marching feet and joyous song resound,
Where burn the funeral pyres, and censers swing,
Make straight, make straight
The highway of the King.
The highway of the King.
Lord, give us faith and strength the road to build,
To see the promise of the day fulfilled,
When war shall be no more, and strife shall cease
Upon the highway of the Prince of Peace.
To see the promise of the day fulfilled,
When war shall be no more, and strife shall cease
Upon the highway of the Prince of Peace.
