I need to go home by the way of the cross There is no other way than this way I shall never get sight of the gates of light If the way of the cross I miss Help me not to miss The way of the cross leads home, lead home (2x) It is sweet to know as I onward go The way of the cross leads home So I must go on In the blood sprinkled way On the path that the Savior trod For my Lord says "Come" And I fall at His feet Because my soul is at home with God where I long to be So I bid farewell to the way of the world To walk in it nevermore For my Lord says "Come" And I see His face where He waits at the open door the open door
