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. |

Near the cross, a trembling soul, 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. |

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

Today the 5th of December 2023, I came across this hymnal. The tone is familiar yet the lyrics seems I've never met it in my Christian soujourn.
I am melted and encouraged in my spirit.
Seems the earth went void again after the fall of man in Eden.
I must not miss heaven!

I remember as a young girl my mother, RIP singing this hymn, I’m 72 & it brought tears to my eyes as it was sang in church service today because, I hadn’t heard it since then. 🙏🏽

I was in a disciple class today and this song was sang, the cross is really a place of death, where we die to our flesh and human nature and completely take up the new life in Christ Jesus
