Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Let Youth Praise Him #74 (1964) 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 brought 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 shore,
Just beyond the river. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [Jesus, keep me near the cross]
