{comment:Verse 1}
[Eb]Jesus keep me [Ab]near the cross,
[Eb]There a precious [Bb]fountain.
[Eb]Free to all a [Ab]healing stream,
[Eb]Flows from Calvary's [Bb]moun[Eb]tain.

{start_of_chorus}
[Eb]In the cross, [Ab]in the cross.
[Eb]Be my glory [Bb]ever.
[Eb]Til my ransomed [Ab]soul shall find
[Eb]Rest beyond the [Bb]river[Eb].
{end_of_chorus}

{comment:Verse 2}
[Eb]Near the cross, a [Ab]trembling soul,
[Eb]Love and Mercy [Bb]found me.
[Eb]There the bright and[Ab]morning star
[Eb]Sheds its beams ar[Bb]ound [Eb]me.

{comment:Verse 3}
[Eb]Near the cross! O[Ab]Lamb of God,
[Eb]Bring its scenes b[Bb]efore me.
[Eb]Help me walk fro[Ab]m day to day,
[Eb]With its shadows [Bb]o'er [Eb]me.

{comment:Verse 4}
[Eb]Near the cross I'll [Ab]watch and wait
[Eb]Hoping, trusting [Bb]ever,
[Eb]Til I reach the [Ab]golden strand,
[Eb]Just beyond the [Bb]rive[Eb]r.
