_ Jesus [Ab] keep me [Eb] _
_ near the _ _ cross, [Bb] _ _ there [Gm] a _ precious _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ fountain, [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ free [Eb] _
to [Ab] all a [Eb] _ _
_ healing stream, _ _ _
[Bb] _ flowed
[Gm] from _ _ _ _ [F] Calvary's _ _ _ [Bb] _
mountain. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ In the _ _ cross, [Eb] _ _ in the _ _ cross, _ _ [Bb] be _
[Eb] my _ [Bb] _ glory _ _
_ _ _ [F] ever, _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Eb] till my _ [Ab] _

_ _ _ Near the [Ab] cross a [Eb] _ _ _ trembling _ _ soul, _ _ [Bb] _ _
love [Gm] and _ _ mercy _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Cm] found _ me, _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] there the [Ab] bright and [Eb] _ _ _ morning
_ _ star, _ _ [Bb] _ _
sheds [Gm] its _ beams _
_ [F] _ [Bb] around _ _ _ _ me. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ In the _ _ _ cross, [Eb] _ _ _ _ in the _ cross, _ _ _ [Bb] be _ [Eb] my _ _ _ glory _ _ _ _ [F] ever, _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] till my _ [Fm] _ rapture _ [Eb] _ _
souls shall _ _ find, _ [Bb] _ _ rest _ [Gm] be
_ _ on [F] the _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] river. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] Near the _ [Ab] cross, _ [Eb] O Lamb _ of _ God, _ _ [Bb] _ bring _ the _ sins _ _ before _ _ _ me, _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] help me walk [Ab] _
from [Eb] _ _ day to _ day, _ _ [Bb] _ _
with
[Gm] its _ _ _ shadows [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] over _ _ _ me. _ _ _ _
In _ the _ _ cross, _ _ [Eb] _ in _ the _ _ _ cross, _ [Bb] be _ [Eb] my _ _ [Bb] glory _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] ever, _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] till my _ _ [Fm] rapture _ [Eb] _
_ _ souls shall _ find, _ _ [Bb] _ _ rest _
[Gm] be
_ on _ [F] the _ _ _ river.
[Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Near [Eb] _ the [Fm] cross _ [Eb] I'll _ _ _ watch and _ wait, _ _ [Bb] _ _
help [Gm] and _ trust in _ you _ _ _ [F]
ever, _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
till the _ [Ab] golden _ _
[Eb] _ strand
_ I _ _ reach, _ [Bb] _ _ just _
[Gm] _ beyond _ _ _ [F] the _ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] river. _ _
_ _ _ In _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the _ cross, _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
in the _ _ _ cross, _ _ [Bb] _ be [Eb] _ [Bb] my _ _ glory _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ [F] ever, _ _ _ _
