[JESUS KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS]
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
Till 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
Shed its beams around me.
VERSE 3
Near the cross oh, Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadows o're me.
VERSE 4
Near the cross, I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever;
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
[THE HOLLOW OF GOD'S HAND]
VERSE 1
With my Saviour ever near to guide me,
I am safe, whatever may betide me;
From the storm and tempest He will hide me
In the hollow of His hand!
CHORUS
In the hollow of His hand!
In the hollow of His hand!
I am safe, whatever may betide me,
In the hollow of His hand!
VERSE 2
In His arms of love He doth enfold me,
Words of peace His voice Divine hath told me;
I am safe for God Himself doth hold me
In the hollow of His hand!
VERSE 3
He will guard my soul, and leave me never;
From His love no power on earth shall sever;
And I know He'll keep me now and ever
In the hollow of His hand!
