Jesus, keep me near the cross,

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.

Refrain

J�zus, tarts a Keresztn�l

J�zus, J�zus, tartsz dr�ga Keresztedn�l

Onnan ered az �let forr�sa

Ha az �rra tekintesz, megl�tod

�s �ld�sk�nt �m�l K�lv�ria hegyr�l.

J�zus, tarts Keresztedn�l, ott az �let forr�s;

A K�lv�ria hegyr�l

�m�l a sok �ld�s.

A kereszt, a kereszt, dics�s�get hirdet.

V�rj, m�g lelkem nyugalm�t megleli

�s megpihen a t�voli part perem�n.

Ott van az �n nyugalmam,

Ahol J�zus elv�rzett.

Igen, Uram!
