I love this amazing old hymn--Fanny J Crosby wrote so many special hymns---vividly descriptive--blind from 6 weeks old---amazing!!!! The Lord certainly used her to reach many for His purpose and draw them to Him.
I heard, learned & loved these hymns since I was a little child, now I'm 53 and say about them…... Ever loved ones! Blessing from Panama, central america!
In a time when songs that are sung in church are often unsingable, I am often drawn back to the classics that are full of meaning and music that allows one to sing, I find encouragement and blessing
Jesus keep me near the cross 1, Jesus keep me near the cross There a precious fountain, Free to all the living streams Hoping Calvary mountain In the Cross, In the Cross Be my glory ever Till my raptured, soul shall find rest, beyond the River 2, Near the Cross I'll watch and wait Love and mercy Found me There the bright And morning Star ✨ Shepherd's sheep's around me In the Cross, In the Cross Be my glory ever Till my raptured, soul shall find rest, Beyond The River 3, Near the cross oh lamb Of God Bring it's scenes before me Help me walk from day to day With it's shadows o'er me In the Cross, In the Cross Be my glory ever Till my raptured, soul shall find rest, Beyond The River 4, Near The Cross I'll watch And wait Hoping, trusting ever Till I reach the golden strand just beyond the river In the Cross, In the Cross Be my glory ever Till my raptured, soul shall find rest, Beyond The River
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (February 28, Lent 3), I played this as the Closing Hymn. It is #335 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
Galatians6 14. But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 14. ἐμοὶ δὲ μὴ γένοιτο καυχᾶσθαι εἰ μὴ ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, δι’ οὗ ἐμοὶ κόσμος ἐσταύρωται ⸀κἀγὼ κόσμῳ. 14. 그러나 내게는 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 십자가 외에 결코 자랑할 것이 없으니 그리스도로 말미암아 세상이 나를 대하여 십자가에 못 박히고 내가 또한 세상을 대하여 그러하니라 John 19 25. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 25. Εἱστήκεισαν δὲ παρὰ τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ ἀδελφὴ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ, Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Κλωπᾶ καὶ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνή. 25. 예수의 십자가 곁에는 그 모친과 이모와 글로바의 아내 마리아와 막달라 마리아가 섰는지라 Revelation 22 1. And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 1. Καὶ ἔδειξέν μοι ⸀ποταμὸν ὕδατος ζωῆς λαμπρὸν ὡς κρύσταλλον, ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ θρόνου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἀρνίου 1. 또 저가 수정 같이 맑은 생명수의 강을 내게 보이니 하나님과 및 어린 양의 보좌로부터 나서 2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 2. ἐν μέσῳ τῆς πλατείας αὐτῆς· καὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ξύλον ζωῆς ποιοῦν καρποὺς δώδεκα, κατὰ μῆνα ἕκαστον ⸀ἀποδιδοῦν τὸν καρπὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ φύλλα τοῦ ξύλου εἰς θεραπείαν τῶν ἐθνῶν. 2. 길 가운데로 흐르더라 강 좌우에 생명 나무가 있어 열 두가지 실과를 맺히되 달마다 그 실과를 맺히고 그 나무 잎사귀들은 만국을 소성하기 위하여 있더라
