Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Victory Songs #259 (1920) Topics: Atonement and the Cross 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 Calv'ry'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!]
Near the Cross.
