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
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
