I’m having a restless night. Unable to sleep. The words, “Jesus keep me near the cross” came to mind and I felt compelled to read (not sing) the words to the entire song.
I want to remember these words when I’m in need of encouragement, so thank you for providing the lyrics.
The cross—altar of transformation with the empowering blood sacrifice what a place of transformation, reassurance for my soul offering a crystal emission of joy of salvation to my soul. Jesus I worship You for the cross.
The cross is rough and deadly but after its work is done, comes the manifestation of the resurrection glory and power.
Lord Jesus, keep me near Your cross.
The place of my redemption and transformation.
Bring its scenes continually before me.
May I never lose sight of it.
Our Christian life altogether depends on two things: the cross and the life-giving Spirit. The significance of the cross is of two aspects: the aspect of redemption and the aspect of life. Christianity knows only the shallow aspect of redemption. Stanza 1 of Hymns, #1059 says,
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;
We can compare these hymns by A. B. Simpson to hymn #1059, another hymn on knowing the cross of Christ. The first verse and the chorus say:
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;
This truth in Galatians is not conveyed in hymn #1059. This hymn was written before A. B. Simpson's writings. At the time it was written, the revelation concerning the Lord's subjectiveness was not that deep. It is a good hymn, but it is obvious that the hymns by Brother Simpson are of a much higher standard.
