The Way of the Cross Leads Home
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. Refrain: 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 cross leads home. 2 I must needs go on in the blood-sprinkled way, The path that the Savior trod, If I ever climb to the heights sublime, Where the soul is at home with God. [Refrain] 3 Then I bid farewell to the way of the world, To walk in it nevermore; For the Lord says, "Come," and I seek my home Where He waits at the open door. [Refrain]
