THE WAY OF THE CROSS LEADS HOME

A     
I must needs go home by the way of the cross,
        D                A
There’s no other way but this;
        E7                     A
I shall ne’er get sight of the gates of light,
       E          B7      E7
If the way of the cross I miss.

Refrain
    A
The way of the cross leads home,

The way of the cross leads home,
       E7                A
It is sweet to know as I onward go,
D   A          E7          A
The way of the cross leads home.


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.

Refrain

Then I bid farewell to the way of the world,
To walk in it never more;
For the Lord says, “Come,” and I seek my home,
Where He waits at the open door.

Refrain
