Near the cross! O Lamb of God

Bring its scenes before me;

Help me walk from day to day

With its shadow o'er me

Rest beyond the river

Near the cross! I'll watch and wait

Hoping, trusting ever

Till I reach the golden strand

Just beyond the river

In the cross, in the cross,

Be my glory ever;

Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river
