Verse 1:
Jesus keep me near the cross
There's a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
Flows from Calvary's montain
Chorus (1x)
In the cross I'll watch and wait
Hoping and trusting ever
Til I reach that golden strain
It's just beyond the river
Chorus (2x)
In the cross
In the cross
Be my glory ever
Til my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Vamp:
He'll give me wonderful
He'll give me sanctified rest
He'll give me glorious rest
Hе'll give me evеrlasting rest
Rest He'll give me rest (until end)
