A D A E D/F# A E
1. Jes -us, keep me near the cross, There a precious foun -tain
2. Near the cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me;
3. Near the cross! O Lamb of God, Bring its scenes before me;
4. Near the cross I'll watch and wait Hoping, trusting ever,
A D A E D/F# A E A
1. Free to all, a healing stream Flows from Calvary's moun -tain.
2. There the bright and morning star Sheds its beams around me.
3. Help me walk from day to day, With its shadows o'er me.
4. Till I reach the golden strand, Just beyond the ri- ver.
Chorus
A D A D A E
In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever;
A D A E D/F# A E A
Till my raptur-ed soul shall find Rest beyond the ri-ver.
