In the cross, In the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find

Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me. [Chorus]

Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadow o'er me. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: NEAR THE CROSS
