Near the Cross

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.

Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Sheds its beams around me.
Repeat Chorus.

Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadows over me.
Repeat Chorus.

Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
Repeat Chorus.
