Jesus, Keep Me Near The Cross

Songwriter/Translator/Composer Fanny Crosby, William Howard Doane

F             Bb
Jesus keep me near the cross  
F                C7
There a precious fountain 
F             Bb
Free to all a healing stream 
F          C7            F
Flows from Calvary's mountain 
 
             Bb
In the cross in the cross 
F           C7
Be my glory ever 
F                Bb
Till my raptured soul shall find  
F      C7       F
Rest beyond the river 
 
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
