Near the Cross Chords

written by Fanny J. Crosby and William H. Doane

(D)Jesus, keep me (G)near the cross,
(D)There a precious (A)fountain.
(D)Free to all, a (G)healing stream
(D)Flows from Calvry's (A)moun(D)tain.

Chorus
(D)In the cross, (G)in the cross,
(D)Be my glory (A)ever;
(D)Till my raptured (G)soul shall find
(D)Rest beyond the (A)riv(D)er

(D)Near the cross, a (G)trembling soul,
(D)Love and Mercy (A)found me;
(D)There the bright and (G)morning star  
(D)Sheds its beams (A)around (D)me.

(D)Near the cross! O (G)Lamb of God,
(D)Bring its scenes be(A)fore me;
(D)Help me walk from (G)day to day
(D)With its shadows (A)o’er (D)me.

(D)Near the cross I’ll (G)watch and wait
(D)Bring its scenes be(A)fore me;
(D)Till I reach the (G)golden strand,
(D)Just beyond the (A)riv(D)er.
