Jesus, keep me near the Cross
There's a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary's mountain
~CHORUS~
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Near the cross, a trembling soul
Love and mercy found me
There the bright and morning Star
Shed its beams around me
Chorus
Near the Cross! O Lamb of God
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o'er me
Chorus
Near the cross I'll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ev-er
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river
Chorus
