1 Near the cross of Jesus, Ever let me be, Where the precious fountain Flows and cleanseth me.
Refrain: Near the cross, near the cross, Cross of Calvary; Near the cross of Jesus, Ever let me be.
2 Neath the mighty shadow From the noontide heat, I would ever linger In that refuge sweet. [Refrain]
3 Sweet and peaceful shelter, On it I rely, Thro’ the storms and tempests, That around me lie. [Refrain]Source: Triumphant Songs No.1 #122
