Jesus, Keep Me Near The Cross,
There A Precious Fountain;
Free To All, A Healing Stream,
Flows From Calvary’s Mountain.
In The Cross, In The Cross
Be My Glory Ever,
Till My Ransomed 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 His Beams Around Me.
In The Cross, In The Cross
Be My Glory Ever,
Till My Ransomed Soul Shall Find
Rest Beyond The River.
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.
In The Cross, In The Cross
Be My Glory Ever,
Till My Ransomed Soul Shall Find
Rest Beyond The River.
Near The Cross! I’ll Watch And Wait,
Hoping, Trusting Ever;
Till I Reach The Golden Strand,
Just Beyond The River.
In The Cross, In The Cross
Be My Glory Ever,
Till My Ransomed Soul Shall Find
Rest Beyond The River.
