Hallowed Hymns, New and Old ‎#11

11. Make Paths for the King!

1 Uplift ev'ry valley, the sunlight to share;
Bring low ev'ry mountain by faith's conqu'ring pray'r;
For service so blessed, your best efforts bring,
To souls that need Jesus, make paths for the King.

Chorus:
Make paths for the King!
Till earth with His praises shall ring,
Make paths, for the King!
O Christian, make paths for the King!

2 More lab'rers are wanted, the work is so great;
With courage and kindness, things crooked, make straight;
Let love's crystal fountains, abundantly spring;
Far out in the desert, make paths for the King. [Chorus]

3 Seek out the rough places, and smooth them with love;
Use sympathy, patience and pow'r from above,
Remember life's seasons pass by on the wing,
The Master is coming! make paths for the King. [Chorus]
