Hymn #595
Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross
Lyrics
Verse 1
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary’s mountain.
Refrain
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.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
