Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Jesus keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry'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 it's beam around me.
VERSE 3
Near the cross O lamb of God,
Bring it's scene before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With it's shadows O'er me.
VERSE 4
Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
