32. Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross
“May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Galatians 6:14 NIV
Text: Fanny J Crosby; Music: William H. Doane; Key of F major
Jesus, keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain
Chorus:
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Near the cross, a trembling soul
Love and mercy found me
There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed His beams around me
Near the cross! I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river
