G             Em       C      G                D
Jesus keep me near the cross- There a precious fountain,

G              Em      C       G                    D7   G
Free to all, a healing stream, Flows from Calvary's moun-tain.
[Chorus]
G             C            G     C     D
In the cross, in the cross Be my glory ever,

G                Em         C    G               D7  G
Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the riv-er.
[Verse 2]
G                 Em        C     G              D
Near the cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me;

G                    Em      C    G                 D7    G
There the Bright and Morning Star Sheds its beams a-round me.
[Chorus]

In the cross, in the cross Be my glory ever,

G                Em         C    G               D7  G
Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the riv-er.
[Verse 3]
G                 Em      C    G                   D
Near the cross! O Lamb of God, Bring its scenes be-fore me;

G                 Em     C   G                D7   G
Help me walk from day to day With its shadows o'er me.
[Chorus]
G             C            G     C     D
In the cross, in the cross Be my glory ever,

G                Em         C    G               D7  G
Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the riv-er.
[Verse 4]
G                   Em        C     G               D
Near the cross I'll watch and wait, Hoping trusting ever,

G                Em     C      G               D7  G
Till I reach the golden strand Just beyond the riv-er.
[Chorus]
G             C            G     C     D
In the cross, in the cross Be my glory ever,

G                Em         C    G               D7  G
Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the riv-er.
[Outro]
G               D7  G
Rest beyond the riv-er.
