Right through the land will run a highway, the Way of Holiness. Only the just will make the journey, those who hate wickedness. No dang'rous lion will be found there no cause to fear or mourn. All those redeemed by God their Saviour will to the land return. 6. The ransomed of the Lord will walk there with joyful songs of praise. They’ll enter Zion, by God’s favour, to him their anthems raise. Full bliss will crown their heads forever, joy speed them on their way. They will rush in with festive banners. All sorrow flies away.
