Jesus, keep me near the cross

Jesus, Jesus, keep me near to the precious cross
That's where the fountain is flowing so freely
It's free to everyone who looks to the Lord
You can see that it's flowing from Mount Calvary.

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

Near the cross, near the cross
Be my glory ever

(Men)
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
(Women)
Wait until my raptured soul
Shall find peace and rest
You can find it with Jesus
On the far river's shore
(All)
Yes, my Lord!
