Near The Cross / Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross / In The Cross In The Cross | Christian Hymn
Song based on the Bible verses:
Revelation 22:1-2
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

1
Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
Flows from Calvary’s mountain
In the cross in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
2
Near the cross a trembling soul
Love and mercy found me
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me
In the cross in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
3
Near the cross O Lamb of God
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadows o’er me
In the cross in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
4
Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river
In the cross in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
