Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship #231 (1938) 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 ransomed 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]
