Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross

D D7 G
Jesus, keep me near the cross;
D A A7
There a precious fountain
D D7 G
Free to all, a healing stream,
D A7 D
Flows from Calvary's mountain.

Chorus
D D7 G
In the cross, in the cross,
D A
Be my glory ever,
D D7 G
Till my raptured soul shall find
D A7 D
Rest beyond the river.

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

Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
