Near the Cross

Bait1

Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary's mountain.

Bait2

Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beam around me

Reff1

In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond rhe river
