Text: | Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross |
Author: | Fanny Crosby |
Tune: | NEAR THE CROSS |
Composer: | William H. Doane |
1 Jesus, keep me near the cross;
There a precious fountain,
Free to all--a healing stream--
Flows from Calvary's mountain.
Refrain:
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
Shed its beams around me. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
4 Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river. [Refrain]
Amen.
