Near The Cross Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jesus, keep me near the cross;
There a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary's mountain.

[Chorus]
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

[Verse 2]
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me.

[Chorus]
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river. [Verse 3]
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow over me.

[Chorus]
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

[Verse 4]
Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river.

[Chorus]
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
