jesus keep me near the cross there s 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 near the cross a trembling soul 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 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 till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river
