Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross

Hymn 33 · by Fanny Crosby ยท The Cross

Verse 1

Jesus keep me in the cross, There a precious fountain Free to all, a healing stream Flows from Calvary's mountain.

Chorus

In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever; Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river.

Verse 2

In the cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me; There the bright and morning star Sheds its beams around me.

Verse 3

In the cross! O Lamb of God, Bring its scenes before me; Help me walk from day to day, With its shadows o'er me.

Verse 4

In the cross I'll watch and wait Hoping, trusting ever, Till I reach the golden strand, Just beyond the river.
