Near the Cross Chords by EC

(Verse)
Je

sus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain

(Chorus)
I

n the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

(Verse)
Ne

ar the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Sheds its beams around me

(Verse)
N

ear the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadows o'er me

(Verse)
N

ear the cross I’ll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting, ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river
