Sheet music

  1. 1Jesus, keep me near the cross;There a precious fountain,Free to all, a healing stream,Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.In the cross, in the cross,Be my glory ever;Till my raptured soul shall findRest beyond the river.
  2. 2Near the cross, a trembling soul,Love and mercy found me;There the bright and Morning StarSheds its beams around me.In the cross, in the cross,Be my glory ever;Till my raptured soul shall findRest beyond the river.
  3. 3Near the cross! O Lamb of God,Bring its scenes before me;Help me walk from day to dayWith its shadows o’er me.In the cross, in the cross,Be my glory ever;Till my raptured soul shall findRest beyond the river.
  4. 4Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,Hoping, trusting, ever,Till I reach the golden strand,Just beyond the river.In the cross, in the cross,Be my glory ever;Till my raptured soul shall findRest beyond the river.
