There is only one way of salvation-- The glorious way of the cross! It leads thro' Gethsemane's garden, Thro' pain, self-denial and loss. 'Tis narrow, but ever abounding With glimpses of heaven above; It is rugged, but radiant with glory, And blazoned with mercy and love. There is only one way of salvation, The way of the cross; There is only one way of salvation, The glorious way of the cross. There is only one way of salvation! At Calvary's cross it begins, And winds thro' the vale of repentance, And out of the valley of sins. 'Tis marked by the blood of the martyrs, And hallowed by sorrows untold, but it still is the way, and the only Way unto the City of Gold. There is only one way of salvation, The way of the cross; There is only one way of salvation, The glorious way of the cross. There is only one way of salvation, Tho' often it seems to be vain-- It's mountains of trial and sorrow, It's deserts of passion and pain-- But Jesus, the Savior of sinners, Will walk by your side all the way; He will guide you, and cheer you, and love you, O make Him your Savior to day! There is only one way of salvation, The way of the cross; There is only one way of salvation, The glorious way of the cross.
