Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross
1. Jesus Keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary's mountain
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary's mountain
Chorus
In the cross, In the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
In the cross, In the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed 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
Shed his beams around me
There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed his beams around me
Chorus
In the cross, In the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
In the cross, In the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
3. Near the cross!
O Lamb o God
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow over me
O Lamb o God
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow over me
Chorus
In the cross, In the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
In the cross, In the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
4. Near the cross!
I'll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strands
Just beyond the river
I'll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strands
Just beyond the river
Chorus
In the cross, In the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
In the cross, In the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
