Hymn 568
I must needs go home by the way
- 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 Saviour 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 never more;
For my Lord says "Come," and I seek my home.
Where He waits at the open door.
