Near The Cross Verse 1 Jesus keep me near the cross There a precious fountain Free to all a healing stream Flows from Calv'ry'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 shadows o'er 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 CCLI Song No. 36736|© Public Domain |Fanny Jane Crosby | William Howard Doane|For use solely with the SongSelect Terms of Use.
