Jesus Keep Me

I sang this song Wednesday night at church. It's one of my all-time favorite hymns.



Near the Cross
Fanny Crosby 1869 (Public Domain)

Jesus, keep me near the cross, There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream, Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.

Refrain:
In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find, rest beyond the river.

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 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.
