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 'Til my ransomed 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 shadow o'er me In the cross, in the cross Be my glory ever 'Til my ransomed soul shall find Rest beyond the river Near the cross, I'll watch and wait Hoping, trusting ever 'Til I reach the golden strand Just beyond the river In the cross, in the cross Be my glory ever 'Til my ransomed soul shall find Rest beyond the river 'Til my ransomed soul shall find Rest beyond the river
