May I Remember...

Near The Cross

Jesus, keep me near the cross;

There a precious fountain,

Free to all, a healing stream, 

Flows from Calvary's mountain.

 Near the cross, a trembling soul, 

Love and mercy found me;

There the bright and morning star

Sheds its beams around me.

 Near the cross, O Lamb of God,

Keep its scenes before me;

Help me walk from day to day

With its shadow o'er me. 

In the cross, in the cross,

Be my glory ever,

Till me raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.
