The Way of the Cross Leads Home

Author: Jessie Brown Pounds Hymnal: Revival Praises #13 (1907) First Line: I must needs go home by the way of the cross 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 never more; For my Lord says "Come," and I seek my home, Where He waits at the open door. [Chorus] Tune Title: [I must needs go home by the way of the cross]
