 1 

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;

From the cross my ransomed soul

Nothing then shall sever.

 
 2 

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,

Be my glory ever;

From the cross my ransomed soul

Nothing then shall sever.

 
 3 

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.

 

In the cross, in the cross,

Be my glory ever;

From the cross my ransomed soul

Nothing then shall sever.

 
 4 

Near the cross I'll watch and wait,

Hoping, trusting ever,

Till I see my Savior's face,

Leave His presence never.

 

In the cross, in the cross,

Be my glory ever;

From the cross my ransomed soul

Nothing then shall sever.
