verse 1: 

D      D/F#    Gsus2 
Jesus, keep me near the cross 
D                A6sus4  A7 
There a precious fountain 
D       D/F#   Gsus2 
Free to all, a healing stream 
A6sus4               A7  D 
Flows from Calvary?s mountain 


[Refrão]

D             Gsus2 
In the cross, in the cross 
D             A6sus4  A7 
Be my glory ever 
D         F#        Gsus2 
Till my raptured soul shall find 
A6sus4             A7  D 
Rest beyond the river 


verse 2: 
D        D/F#     Gsus2 
Near the cross! O Lamb of God 
D               A6sus4  A7 
Bring its scenes before me 
D      D/F#       Gsus2 
Help me walk from day to day 
A6sus4           A7   D 
With its shadows o'er me 

(REPEAT Chorus) 

verse 3: 

D        D/F#      Gsus2 
Near the cross I'll watch and wait 
D                A6sus4  A7 
Hoping, trusting ever 
D      D/F#      Gsus2 
Till I reach the golden strand 
A6sus4          A7  D 
Just beyond the river 

(REPEAT Chorus)
