Near the Cross (Fanny Crosby/William Doane)

 

Jesus, keep me hear the cross. There, a precious fountain

Free to all, a healing stream, flows from Calvary’s mountain.

 

(chorus)

In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever,

‘til my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.

 

At the cross I stood one day. Love and mercy found me;

There the bright and morning star shed its beams around me.

 

Chorus

 

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.

 

Chorus

 

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait, hoping, trusting ever,

‘til I reach the golden strand just beyond the river.

 

Chorus
