Near the Cross

Verse 1:
Jesus, keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain

Chorus:
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ev-er
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the ri-ver

Verse 2:
Near the cross, a trembling soul
Love and Mercy found me
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me
 
Verse 3:
Near the cross O Lamb of God
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadows o’er me

Verse 4:
Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ev-er
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river
