Jesus, keep me near the Cross
There, a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary’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, O Lamb of God
Bring it’s scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With it’s shadows over me
Near the Cross, I watch and wait
Hoping, trusting, ever
Till I reach the Golden Strand
Just beyond the River
