1.
Jesus, keep me near the Cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary's mountain
2.
Near the Cross, a trembling soul
Love and mercy found, me
There the bright and morning star
Shed its beams around me
3.
Near the Cross, O Lamb of God
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day today
With its shadow o'er me
4.
Near the Cross I'll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river
