Eddy Arnold Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross Lyrics

Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross Lyrics

Jesus keep me near the cross there a precious fountain

Free to all a healing stream flows from Calv'ry's mountain



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



In the cross in the cross...

[ piano ]

Near the cross I'll watch and wait hoping trusting ever

Till I reach the golden strand just beyond the river



In the cross in the cross...
