My late sweet mum taught me the tune and lyrics of this powerful hymn. I worship God and thank Him for allowing me the pleasure of such a great mother. Thank you.
This hymn pours fresh streams of God's grace and love into my soul. It reminds me of the great price His beloved Son has to pay for my sins. I worship and thank the Lord with this hymn.
It lightens and strengthens me when I am down. It fills my heart with love and eyes with tears remembering of my Saviour. Love You Jesus, forgive my sins.
In reply to last posting, someone has just this evening given me a sheet from a hymnbook and the words are slightly different (Number 312 in this particular book).
For example the last two lines of the chorus are:
"Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river"
and the fourth verse finishes with
"Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river"
If these sound familiar I am sure you can find this version. I just don't have the name of the hymnal.
The melody takes me back and is still moving. But the words here do not quite fit with those I sang and remember. Does anyone know if there were two versions?
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.
