Hymn 192 - The Way of the Cross Leads Home

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.

I must needs go on in the blood sprinkled way,

The path that the Saviour 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.

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.

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.

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 the cross leads home.
