The Way of the Cross Leads Home
Author: Jessie B. Pounds Appears in 240 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 First Line: I must needs go home by the way of the cross Refrain First Line: The way of the cross leads me home Lyrics: 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.
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)
3 Then I bid farewell to the way of the world,
To walk in it nevermore;
For my Lord says, “Come,” and I seek my home,
Where He waits at the open door. (Chorus)

The Royal Banners Forward Go
Author: Venantius Fortunatus (540?-600?); John Mason Neale (1818-1866); Percy Dearmer (1867-1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 134 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go;
the cross shines forth in mystic glow;
where he, the Life, did flesh endure,
and by that death did life procure.
2 There while he hung, his sacred side
by soldier's spear was opened wide
to cleanse us in the precious flood
of water mingled with his blood.
3 Fulfilled is all his words foretold;
then spread the banners, and unfold
love's crowning power, that all may see
he reigns and triumphs from the tree.
4 O tree of grace, the conquering sign,
which dost in royal purple shine,
gone is thy shame; for, lo, each bough
proclaims the prince of glory now.
5 For once thy favoured branches bore
the wealth that did the world restore,
the priceless treasure, freely spent
to pay for our enfranchisement.
6 Father of all, life's source and spring,
may every soul thy praises sing;
may those obey the rule of heaven,
for whom the perfect life was given. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: VEXILLA REGIS

O Christ, Our Hope, Our Heart's Desire
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:29-31 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our Hope, our heart's Desire,
Maker and God of all,
The Word in latter days made flesh,
Redeemer from the fall!
2 How vast the mercy and the love
Which laid our sins on Thee,
And led Thee to a cruel death,
To set Thy people free!
3 But now the bands of death are burst,
The ransom has been paid;
And Thou art on Thy Father's throne,
In glorious robes arrayed.
4 O may Thy mighty love prevail
Our sinful souls to spare!
O may we come before Thy throne,
And fine acceptance there!
5 O Christ, be Thou our present Joy,
Our future great Reward;
Our only glory may it be
To glory in the Lord!
Amen.
