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.
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.
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.
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.
