Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross Lyrics

Verse 1:
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
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;
'til my raptured soul shall find,
rest beyond the river.

Verse 2:
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
love and mercy found me;
there the bright and morning star sheds its beams around me.

Chorus

Verse 3:
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
bring its scenes before me;
help me walk from day to day,
with its shadows over me.

Chorus

Verse 4:
Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
hoping, trusting ever,
'til I reach the golden strand,
just beyond the river.

Chorus
