Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross

Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain—
Free to all, a healing stream—
Flows from Calv’ry’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.

Shiviti Adonai(Psalm16:8-9) שויתי יהוה

שויתי יהוה לנגדי תמיד
Shiviti Adonai le-negdi tamid
[I have set the Lord always before me]

כי מימיני בל־אמוט׃
Ki mimini bal emot
[Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved]

לכן ׀ שמח לבי
Lachen samach libi
[Therefore my heart is glad]

ויגל כבודי
Va-yagel kevodi
[and my glory rejoices]
