Je- sus, keep me near the cross; there a precious foun- tain,

Near the cross a trem- bling soul, love and mercy found me;

Near the cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me;

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait, hoping, trusting ev- er,

F Bb F C7 Dm Bb F C C7 F

Free to all a hea- ling stream flows from Cal- v’ry’s mountain.

There the Bright and Morning Star shed its beams a- round me.

Help me walk from day to day with its sha- dow o’er me.

Till I reach the gol- den strand just beyond the riv- er.

F Bb F Bb F C

In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever;

F Gm F A7 Dm Bb F C C7 F

Till my raptured soul shall find, rest beyond the river.
