"Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross"
Music: William H. Doane, 1869 Lyrics: Fanny J. Crosby, 1869 Jesus, keep me near the cross, There a precious fountain, Free to all, a healing stream, Flows from Calvary's mountain. Near the cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me; There the bright and morning star Sheds its beams around me. Near the cross! O Lamb of God, Bring its scenes before me; Help me walk from day to day, With its shadow over me. Near the cross I'll watch and wait, Hoping, trusting ever, Till I reach the golden strand, Just beyond the river. Refrain: In the cross, be my glory ever; Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river. |
