I MUST NEEDS GO HOME
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 Saviour trod,
If I ever climb to the heights
sublime,
Where the soul is at home with God.
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.
