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
