I must reach Heaven's home By the way of the cross There is no other way but this I will never have 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 'Til I reach the goal it's a joy to know The way of the cross leads home The way of the cross leads home
I must journey on in the blood-washed way On the rough thorny path He trod I'm determined to run 'til the race is won And my soul is at home with God
So I bid farewell to the ways of the world To walk in it no more For my Lord says come And I seek my home Where He waits at the open door
