Hymns
Near the Cross
words: Fanny Crosby
music: William H. Doane
Background music: Joyful Noise Music
Jesus, keep me near the cross -
There a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Sheds its beams around me.
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.
Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting, ever,
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river.
CHORUS
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest, beyond the river.
