Near the Cross

(Fanny Crosby - William B. Bradbury)



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 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...
