Near the Cross
by Fanny J. Crosby
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain—
Free to all, a healing stream—
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.
Refrain:
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.
Refrain
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadows o’er me.
Refrain
Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
Refrain

thanks for the reminders that there is such comfort in hymns!! So often I am struck with a song at church and then have to come home and pull out the hymnal to really think about the words more.
I am thankful for this blog!! You are an encouragement to me!
I love the old hymns and I am glad that our church still sings the old hymns with a dash of contemporary here and there. The old hymns words are so inspired (not that the new hymns aren't) but when I really listen to the words I am drawn toward Him. Fanny Crosby is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing, Donna!
