Nearer the cross of Jesus
Ever let me be;
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.
Nearer the cross of Jesus,
There I would abide;
There let me rest forever,
Near Jesus’ side.
Nearer the cross, nearer the cross,
Nearer the cross of Jesus,
Nearer the flowing fountain,
That cleanseth me.
Nearer the cross of Jesus,
Let me live and die;
There I will find sweet refuge,
And safety nigh.
Nearer the cross, nearer the cross,
Nearer the cross of Jesus,
Nearer the flowing fountain,
That cleanseth me.
