The Way Of The Cross Leads Home

3 verses · With chorus

Verse 1

I must needs go home by the way of the cross, There's no other way but this; I shall ne'er get sight of the Gates of Light If the way of the cross I miss.

Chorus

The way of the cross leads home, leads home, The way of the cross leads home, leads home; It is sweet to know, as I onward go, The way of the cross leads home.

Verse 2

I must needs go on in the blood-sprinkled way, The path that the Saviour trod; If I ever climb to the heights sublime, Where the soul is at home with God.

Verse 3

Then I bid farewell to the way of the world, To walk in it never more; For my Lord says "Come", and I seek my home, Where He waits at the open door.
