HYMN Lyrics Text: Near The Cross

1. Jesus keep me near the cross

There a precious fountain free

Free to all a healing stream

Flows from Calvary’s mountain

Chorus:

In the cross, in the cross

Be my glory ever

Till my rapture soul find

Rest beyond the river

2. Near the cross a trembling soul

Love and Mercy found me

There the bright and morning star

Shed its beam around me

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

4. Near the cross I’ll watch and pray;

Hoping trusting over

Till I reach the golden stand,

Just beyond the river.
