Near The Cross

Jesus, keep me near the cross

There's 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 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



'Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river
