Calvary Songs ‎#93b

93b. Near the cross

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 shadows o'er me. [Refrain]
