VERSE 1:
D      D/F#    Gsus2
Jesus, keep me near the cross
D                A6sus4  A7
There a precious fountain
D       D/F#   Gsus2
Free to all, a healing stream
A6sus4               A7  D
Flows from Calvary?s mountain

CHORUS:
D             Gsus2
In the cross, in the cross
D             A6sus4  A7
Be my glory ever
D         F#        Gsus2
Till my raptured soul shall find
A6sus4             A7  D
Rest beyond the river


VERSE 2:
D        D/F#     Gsus2
Near the cross! O Lamb of God
D               A6sus4  A7
Bring its scenes before me
D      D/F#       Gsus2
Help me walk from day to day
A6sus4           A7   D
With its shadows o'er me

(REPEAT CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
D        D/F#      Gsus2
Near the cross I'll watch and wait
D                A6sus4  A7
Hoping, trusting ever
D      D/F#      Gsus2
Till I reach the golden strand
A6sus4          A7  D
Just beyond the river

(REPEAT CHORUS)
