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.
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.
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.
Chorus: In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
till my raptured soul shall find
rest beyond the river.
4. Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
hoping, trusting ever,
till I reach the golden strand
Chorus: In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
till my raptured soul shall find
rest beyond the river.
