rate me

Lyrics: Fanny J Crosby

Music: William H Doanne

Fanny Crosby was one of

the most prolific hymnists in

history – more than 8,000

hymns. She wrote “Jesus,

Keep Me Near the Cross” in

1869.

No hymn collection would be

complete without this classic

hymn by Fanny Crosby.

Jesus, keep me near the

cross,

There a precious fountain

Free to all, a healing stream

Flows from Calvary’s

mountain.

Refrain:

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

Sheds 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 shadows o’er me.

Near the cross I’ll watch and

wait

Hoping, trusting ever,

Till I reach the golden

strand,

Just beyond the river.
