1.Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain
Free to all— a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary's mountain.

2.Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me.

3.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.

4.Near the Cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.

RefrainIn the Cross, in the Cross,
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Same meter but needs editorial underlay: ES IST EIN ROS, ST. THEODULPH.
