Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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 

Be my glory ever 

Till my raptured soul shall find 

Rest beyond the river. 

--- Instrumental --- 

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 

Be my glory ever 

Till my raptured soul shall find 

Rest beyond the river...
