(Fanny J. Crosby - William Howard Doane - Jimmie Davis)      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   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.      In the cross, in the cross   Be my glory ever   Till my raptured soul shall find   Rest beyond the river.      --- Instrumental ---      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...
