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.
Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
'til I reach the 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.
