E43. 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. 

​

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 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.

​

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 cross leads home.

​

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.

​

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 cross leads home.
