Near the Cross
F F7 Bb
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
F C7
There a precious fountain
F F7 Bb
Free to all, a healing stream
F C7 F
Flows from Calvary’s mountain.
Chorus:
F Bb
In the cross, in the cross,
F C7
Be my glory ever;
F Bb
Till my raptured soul shall find
F C7 F
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! O 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
