Jesus, keep me near the cross; there a precious fountain,
Free to all- a healing stream- flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever;
'Till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.
Near the cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star shed its beams around me.
Near the cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day with its shadow o'er me.
Near the cross I'll watch and wait, hoping trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand just beyond the river.
May the day and week ahead find you near the cross, my dear friend.

Cyndi,
Excellent post! I love these words, "
Near the cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me;There the Bright and Morning Star shed its beams around me."
Oh, how I don't want to ever be far from the cross.
As much as we love our church, love singing in the choir and enjoy the praise and worship music - we really miss the old hymns. Just reading through them is like a fresh breath of the Spirit. I hope we don't lose them altogether. It is a part of the legacy I wish we could continue to pass down through the generations.
I love that hymn.
Thank you, I needed that hymn in mind today. Praying for you!
Beautiful poem!
