1. -3 -3* -3 3 -2 -1 -1
Jesus, keep me near the cross;
          1 -2 -2 -3 -3 3
        there's a precious fountain,
-3 -3* -3 3 -2 -1 -1
        free to all, a healing stream,
1 -2 -2 2 3 -2
        flows from Calvary's mountain.
Refrain:
-3 4 4 -3* -5 -5
        In the cross, in the cross,
         5 -5 5 -3 -3 3
        be my glory ever,
-3 -3* -3 3 -2 -1 -1
        till my raptured soul shall find
         1 -2 -2 2 3 -2
        rest beyond the river.

2.      Near the cross, a trembling soul,
      love and mercy found me;
      there the bright and morning star
      sheds its beams around me.
      (Refrain)

3.      Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
      bring its scenes before me;
      help me walk from day to day
      with its shadow o'er me.
      (Refrain)

4.      Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
      hoping, trusting ever,
      till I reach the golden strand
      just beyond the river.
      (Refrain)
