Jesus, keep me near the cross,
求主使我近十架！
There a precious fountain,
在此有一寶泉，
Free to all—a healing stream,
醫治活水，無代價，
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.
流自加略山巔。

In the cross, in the cross,
十字架！十字架！
Be my glory ever;
永是我的誇耀！
Till my raptured soul shall find
在此主付的贖價，
Rest with Him forever.
是我永遠倚靠！

Near the cross, a trembling soul,
前我戰兢就十架，
Love and mercy found me;
得蒙愛憐、寬饒；
There the Bright and Morning Star
明亮晨星¹的光華，
Sheds its beams around me.
在此仍將我照。

Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
哦主，當我近十架，
Bring its scenes before me;
示我以其情景；
Help me walk from day to day,
在你十架蔭庇下，
With its shadow o’er me.
天天助我前行。

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,
就近十架而儆醒，
Hoping, trusting ever,
時時信靠、仰望，
Till I see my Savior’s face,
直到被提得上升，
Leave His presence never.
永遠見主面光。
