Lyrics

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 ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed His beams around me.

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Rest beyond the river
Rest beyond the river

Til I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river
Rest beyond the river
