Text: | The Way of the Cross Leads Home |
Author: | Jessie B. Pounds |
Tune: | WAY OF THE CROSS |
Composer: | Charles H. Gabriel |
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.
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.
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.
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.
3. Then I bid farewell to the way of the world,
To walk in it never-more;
For the Lord says, "Come," and I seek my home,
Where He waits at the open door.
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.
