Interpretation notes:

• The hymn uses a melodic structure that rises and falls with the text. 

• In the first verse, 'Walking in the King's highway' is set in a higher range, and the eighth-note rhythm on 'walking' gives the phrase a lighter motion. 

• In the refrain, 'Where sorrow shall flee away' is set with slurred descending notes, and 'And the light shines bright as the day' peaks on E-flat.
