Jesus, keep me near the cross There a precious fountain Free to all,a healing stream Flows from Calv'ry's mountain. In the cross,in the cross Be my glory ever Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river Near the cross,a trembling soul Love and mercy found me There the Bright and Morning star Sheds its beems around me In the cross,in the cross Be my glory ever Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river 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 In the cross,in the cross Be my glory ever Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river
