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.
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.
Near The Cross! I’ll Watch And Wait,
Hoping, Trusting Ever;
Till I Reach The Golden Strand,
Just Beyond The River
