Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) 300. Jesus, keep me near the cross

Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.)‎#300

1 Jesus, keep me near the cross;
There's 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.

2 Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

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