[6/8 timing]

[Intro]
D G D A D (last 2 lines of verse)

[Verse 1]
D             G
Jesus keep me near the cross
D                     A
There a precious foun-tain
D             G
Free to all a healing stream
D                    A7     D
Flows from Calvary's mountain

[CHORUS]
D            G
In the cross in the cross
D             A
Be my glory e-ver
D                G
Till my raptured soul shall find
D               A7  D
Rest beyond the river

[Verse 2]
D                 G
Near the cross, a trembling soul
D                    A
Love and mercy found me
D                    G
There the bright and morning star
D              A7     D
Shed its beams around me.

[Verse 3]
D                   G
Near the cross I'll watch and wait
D                  A
Hoping trusting ev-er
D                G
Till I reach the golden strand
D               A7  D
Just beyond the river

[CHORUS x2 - 2nd time acapella]
D            G
In the cross in the cross
D             A
Be my glory e-ver
D                G
Till my raptured soul shall find
D               A7  D
Rest beyond the river
