Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all—a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
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.
Be my glory ever;
From the cross my ransomed soul
Nothing then shall sever.

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

Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadow o'er me.
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadow o'er me.

Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I see my Savior's face,
Leave His presence never.
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I see my Savior's face,
Leave His presence never.

I enjoyed it

The song enormously blesses and always reminds me of the Cross of Jesus Christ.

The very first hymn I was able to learn and memorize just because of its impact on my life and ever since, there is no looking back.
I also found this in the Bible in Galatians 6:14.
The hymn always blesses my soul, reminding me of the prize my Lord Jesus paid for me. May I glory only in the Cross. Amen!

This part of the chorus strikes it:

Nothing then shall sever.
