Lyrics

Jesus, keep me near the cross There a precious fountain Free to all, a healing stream Flows from Calvary 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 or me Refrain Near the cross Il watch and wait Hoping, trusting ever Till I reach the golden strand Just beyond the river Refrain
