C             F               
Jesus keep me near the cross  
C                G7 
There a precious fountain 
C             F              
Free to all a healing stream 
C          G7            C 
Flows from Calvary's mountain 

             F            
In the cross in the cross 
C           G7 
Be my glory ever 
C                F                
Till my raptured soul shall find  
C           G7    C 
Rest beyond the river 

                    F               
Near the cross I'll watch and wait  
C               G7 
Hoping trusting ever 
C                F              
Till I reach the golden strand  
C           G7    C 
Just beyond the river 

             F            
In the cross in the cross 
C           G7 
Be my glory ever 
C                F                
Till my raptured soul shall find  
C           G7    C 
Rest beyond the river
