Author: Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915 Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #69 (1977) Hymnal Title: His Fullness Songs 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 Calvary'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] Topics: Communion; Cross Languages: English Tune Title: [Jesus, keep me near the cross]
