Lyrics of Jesus keep me near the cross

Jesus keep me near the cross there a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream flows from calv'ry's mountain

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

In the cross in the cross...
( piano )
Near the cross i'll watch and wait hoping trusting ever
Till i reach the golden strand just beyond the river

In the cross in the cross...
