The Way Of The Cross

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,
The way of the cross 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.

Chorus

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

Verse 3

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

Chorus

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