Near the Cross lyrics
by Fanny Crosby
Jesus, keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary's mountain
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
'Til my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Oh, near the cross I'll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever
Till I reach that golden strand
Just beyond the river
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
'Til my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
'Til my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
