English Worship
	Near the Cross
1	Jesus, keep me near the cross, there a precious fountain, free to all, a healing stream, flows from Calvary's mountain. In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever; till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.
2	At the cross, I stood one day. 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.
3	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. In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever; till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.
4	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.
