Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all—a healing stream,
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.
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;
From the cross my ransomed soul
Nothing then shall sever.
Be my glory ever;
From the cross my ransomed soul
Nothing then shall sever.

Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Sheds its beams around me.
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Sheds its beams around me.

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.
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadow o’er me.

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I see my Savior’s face,
Leave His presence never.
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I see my Savior’s face,
Leave His presence never.

What a great hymn! When I hear such songs I feel heaven. Hymns full of anointing to lift the weary! Glory and honor to God.

This is my healing song I found for my victory

Wonderful hymn written by one of the most joy filled hymn writers of all times. Not the theological rigor of an Isaac Watts nor the poetic depth of a Charles Wesley, but unequalled in her expression of simple Christian joy. I suspect that there will be of Fanny Crosby’s hymns sung in heaven than any other author.

I find great comfort in this wonderful hymn that I remember from my childhood. I especially gravitate to the lines: "Help me walk from day to day, with its shadows o'er me".
