Full 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;
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! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadow 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.
