about

Another great Fanny Crosby classic - this one's from 1869.

lyrics

Jesus, keep me near the cross – there, a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream – flows from Calvary’s mountain.

Chorus
In the cross – in the cross – be my glory ever –
Till my raptured soul shall find rest, beyond the river.

Near the cross, a trembling soul – Love and Mercy found me.
There, the Bright and Morning Star – sheds its beams around me.

~~~Chorus~~~

Near the cross, oh Lamb of God – bring its scenes before me.
Help me walk, from day to day – with its shadows o’er me.

~~~Chorus~~~

Near the cross, I’ll watch and wait – hoping, trusting ever –
‘Till I reach the golden strand – just beyond the river.

~~~Chorus~~~
