Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross

1     Jesus, keep me near the cross,
        there's a precious fountain;
        free to all, a healing stream
        flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
 
Refrain
        In the cross, in the cross
        be my glory ever;
        till my ransomed soul shall find
        rest beyond the river.
 
2     Near the cross, a trembling soul,
        love and mercy found me;
        there the bright and morning star
        sheds its beams around me.  Refrain
 
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.  Refrain
 
4     Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
        hoping, trusting ever,
        till I reach the golden strand
        just beyond the river.  Refrain
