Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #126 (1916) First Line: If I reach that land of light, where the saints are robed in white Refrain First Line: 'Tis the blessed old way of the cross Lyrics: 1 If I reach that land of light, where the saints are robed in white
And there shineth one eternal day;
If before the throne I stand, with the saved at God's right hand,
I must walk with Him the narrow way.
Chorus:
'Tis the blessed old way of the cross, (the cross,)
With its pain, self denial and loss; (and loss;)
'Tis the way the Savior trod, and it leadeth home to God,
'Tis the blessed old way of the cross.
2 "Would ye My disciple be," said the man of Galilee,
"Evermore thyself deny day by day;
Take thy cross and follow Me, even unto Calvary,
For salvation 'tis the only way." [Chorus]
3 With the heav'nly prize in view, here I bid the world adieu
For a cross upon a hill lone and gray;
Glory crowns the way I take, as the choice I freely make;
I will take with Christ the lonely way. [Chorus]
