Refrain:In the cross, in the crossBe my glory ever;Till my raptured soul shall findRest beyond the river.2 Near the cross, a trembling soul,Love and mercy found me,There the Bright and Morning StarShed its beams around me. [Refrain]3 Near the cross! O Lamb of God,Bring its scenes before me;Help me walk from day to dayWith 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] Used With Tune: [Jesus, keep me near the cross]
