Near The Cross (Christian Hymn) Lyrics
Jesus keep me near the cross
There’s a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
Flows from Calvary’s mountain
Near the cross I watch, I watch and wait
Hoping and trusting ever
‘Til I reach that gold, gold, gold, golden strand
It’s just beyond the river
In the cross (in)
In the cross be my glory ever
‘Til my, my, my, my, my raptured soul
‘Til my raptured soul shall find
One of these days I will find rest
Rest beyond the river
In the cross (in)
In the cross be my glory ever (’til my raptured)
‘Til my raptured (’til my raptured)
‘Til my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
He’ll give me wonderful rest
He’ll give me sanctified rest
He’ll give me glorious rest
He’ll give me everlasting rest
Rest, He’ll give me rest
Rest, He’ll give me rest
Rest, He’ll give me rest
Rest, He’ll give me rest
He’ll give me wonderful rest
He’ll give me sanctified rest
He’ll give me glorious rest
He’ll give me everlasting rest
Rest, He’ll give me rest
Rest, He’ll give me glorious rest
Rest, He’ll give me rest
He’ll give me sanctified rest
Rest, He’ll give me rest
He’ll give me glorious rest
Rest, He’ll give me rest
He’ll give me everlasting rest
Rest, rest
Rest, rest
Rest, rest
Rest, rest
Rest, rest
Rest, rest
Rest, rest
Rest, rest
Rest beyond the river
