近十架

一 求主使我近十架!

在此有一寶泉,

醫治活水,無代價,

流自加略山巔。

(副)十字架!十字架!永是我的誇耀!

等我被提到天家,仍是我的倚靠!

二 前我戰兢就十架,

得蒙愛憐、寬饒;

明亮晨星的光華,

在此仍將我照。

三 哦,主,當我近十架,

示我以其情景;

在祢十架蔭庇下,

天天助我前行。

四 就近十架而儆醒,

時時信靠、瞻仰;

直到被提得上升,

永遠見主面光。

Near the Cross

1. Jesus, keep me near the cross,

There a precious fountain

Free to all, a healing stream,

Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.

Refrain

In the cross, In the cross,

Be my glory ever;

Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

2. Near the cross, a trembling soul,

love and mercy found me,

There the Bright and Morning Star

Sheds its beams around me.

3. Near the cross! O Lamb of God,

Bring its scenes before me,

Help me walk from day to day

With its shadows o'er me.

4 Near the cross I'll watch and wait,

Hoping, trusting ever,

Till I reach the golden strand

Just beyond the river.
