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 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. [Refrain]
3 Near the cross! O lamb of God, bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day with its shadow o’er me. [Refrain]
4 Near the cross! I’ll watch and wait, hoping, trusting ever;
Till I reach the golden strand, just beyond the river. [Refrain]
