Jesus keep me near the cross |
|
There a precious fountain |
|
Free to all a healing stream flows |
|
From Calv'ry's mountain. |
|
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 |
|
Sheds its beams around me. |
|
In the cross, in the cross |
|
Be my glory ever |
|
Till my raptured 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 raptured soul shall find |
|
Rest beyond the river... |
