Near the Cross
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 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 O Lamb of God, Bring its scenes before me; Help me walk from day to day, With its shadows o'er 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.
