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 cross leads home
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
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
