   Words: Fanny J. Crosby
   Tune: Near The Cross, by William H. Doane
   Season: Lent, Holy Week, Good Friday

   D    Dsus4 D      D9   G
1  Je - sus,  keep   me   near the cross,
2  Near the   cross, a    trembling soul,
3  Near the   cross! O    Lamb of God,
4  Near the   cross  I'll watch and wait,

   D                   A6    A
1  There  a  precious  foun -tain
2  Love  and   mercy   found me;
3  Bring its scenes be-fore  me;
4  Hoping,  trusting   e  -  ver,

   D     Dsus4 D      D9   G
1  Free  to    all    a    healing stream,
2  There the   Bright and  Morning Star
3  Help  me    walk   from day to day,
4  Till  I     reach  the  golden strand,

   D               A           D
1  Flows from  Cal-v'ry's moun-tain.
2  Sheds its beams a-round     me.
3  With  its  shad-ows  o'er   me.
4  Just   beyond   the     riv-er.

Chorus
   D             G
   In the cross, in the cross,

   D  Dsus4 D   Bm   A
   Be my    glo-ry e-ver;

   D    Dsus4 D   D9    G
   Till my    rap-tured soul shall find

   D           A       D
   Rest beyond the riv-er.
