The Convention Hymnal Score of Hymn 27: The Way of the Cross Leads Home by Jessie Brown Rounds

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 the Lord says, "Come," and I seek my home,
    Where He waits at the open door.
Jessie Brown Rounds
