Lyrics

”Near the Cross”

Jesus, keep me near the cross;
there 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
shed its beams around me.
In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
till my raptured soul shall find
rest beyond the river.
