Near The Cross

by Charlotte Abbey

Nearer the cross of Jesus
Ever let me be.
Nearer the flowing fountain,
That cleanseth me.

Nearer the cross of Jesus
There I would abide.
There let me rest forever,
Near Jesus' side.

Nearer the cross of Jesus
Let me live and die.
There I will find sweet refuge,
And safety nigh.

Chorus

Nearer the flowing fountain,
That cleanseth me.
Nearer the cross,
Nearer the cross,
Nearer the cross of Jesus.
Nearer the flowing fountain,
That cleanseth me.
