Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4518 First Line: Jesus, keep me near the cross Refrain First Line: In the cross, in the cross Lyrics: 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.
2. Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me. [Refrain]
3. 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. [Refrain]
4. Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Jesus, keep me near the cross]
