An original arrangement of Near the Cross, originally attributed to Fanny Jane Crosby, and William Howard Doane.
This (or something like it) was performed for yesterday's offertory.
Performed and recorded on my Roland RD-700NX..
(And, sorry, Thumpy didn't come to church with me today.)
----------------------------------
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
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
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
Near the cross I'll watch and wait
Hoping trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river
