Jesus keep me near the Cross

Jesus, Jesus Keep Me Near to the precious Cross,
that’s where the fountains is flowing so freely.
It’s free, to everyone who looks to the Lord. I can
see that it’s flowing from Mt. Calvary.
(Boys sing original, girls sing above)
Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
Flows from Calvary’s Mountain.
(Everybody)
In the cross, In the cross, Be my glory ever.
Till my raptured soul shall find, rest beyond the
river.
When I’m near the blessed cross I see thee, oh
Lamb of God. That’s where I see all the scenes
that are dear to me. Help me, as I try to walk
day to day, with the shadow of Jesus the Lamb
over me.
(Boys sing original, girls sing above)
Near the cross o Lamb of God
Bring it scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o’er me
(Everybody)
In the cross, In the cross, Be my glory ever.
Till my raptured soul shall find, rest beyond the
river.
