In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
till my ransomed soul shall find
rest beyond the river.

love and mercy found me;
there the bright and morning star
sheds its beams around me. [Refrain]
3 Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
bring its scenes before me;
help me live from day to day
with its shadow o'er me. [Refrain]

hoping, trusting ever,
till I reach the golden strand,
just beyond the river. [Refrain] Scripture: Revelation 22:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: NEAR THE CROSS
