NEAR THE CROSS
1. Jesus, keep me
near the cross,
There a precious
fountain
Free to all, a
healing stream,
Flows from
Calv'ry's mountain.
Refrain
In the cross, In
the cross,
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul
shall find
Rest beyond the
river.
2. Near the cross, a
trembling soul,
love and mercy
found me,
There the Bright
and Morning Star
Sheds its beams
around me.
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.
4 Near the cross
I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting
ever,
Till I reach the
golden strand
Just beyond the
river.
