Near The Cross
| Fanny J. Crosby | William H. Doane |
Verse
Jesus, Keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.Chorus
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured sould 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.
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadows o'er me.
Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river.
