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.

Chorus is wrong. Correct lyrics are. "In the cross. In the cross, be my glory ever. Till my raptured soul shall find, rest beyond the river."

Near the Cross my trembling soul but love and mercy was granted to me. Thank You Jesus for offering me Your unfailing love once more as I found myself singing this song in my sleep.

This song reminds of home and I never really paid attention to the song until I came to Tallahassee and it gave me peace to study and help me through out my day.

Thank you for posting this song/hymn. I woke up with it on my heart and so after my devotion I looked it up and found it here and thoroughly enjoyed singing it. Will sing it later with my family. Praise the Lord God for the Cross! May we glory in it always! Thank God for the security we have in our relationship to Christ! Indeed nothing will sever us from Christ and His cross! Jesus richly bless you all this Resurrection Monday! He is risen indeed! He has triumphed by His cross! Hallelujah!
