Near the Cross

歌詞

Jesus, keep me near the cross, There a precious fountain- Free to all, a healing stream- Flows from Calv'ry's mountain. 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. In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever. Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river. 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. In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever. Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river. Near the cross I'll watch and wait Hoping, trusting ever. Till the golden strand I reach, Just beyond the river. In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever. Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river.
