The Way of the Cross Leads Home

Word: Jessie Brown Pounds

Music: Charles 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.

(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)
