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