Jesus keep me near the Cross
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
there a precious fountain
free to all, a healing stream
flows from Calvary's mountain.
Refrain:
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.
Refrain
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
bring its scenes before me;
help me walk from day to day,
with its shadows over me.
