lyrics

In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
‘til at last soul shall find
rest beyond the river.

Jesus, keep me near the cross;
there a precious fountain,
free to all, a healing stream,
flows from Calvary's mountain.

In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
‘til at last soul shall find
rest beyond the river.

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.

In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
‘til at last soul shall find
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,
‘til at last soul shall find
rest beyond the river.
