1 Jesus, keep me near 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 vision glorious;
All my sins are washed away
In the blood of Jesus.
2 Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed its beams around me. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
4 Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting, ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river. [Chorus]
