Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
Froze from Calvary's mountain
In the cross
In the cross
Be my glory ever
Til my raputured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Near the cross the trembling soul
Love and mercy found me
In the bright and morning stars
Sheds his things around me
In the cross
In the cross
Be my glory ever
Til my raputured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Near the cross I watch and wait
Holding trusting ever
Til I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river
In the cross
In the cross
Be my glory ever
Til my raputured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
In the cross
In the cross
Be my glory ever
Til my raputured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
