Product Description

Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross is a classical hymn song based on NEAR THE CROSS tune by William H. Doane and the lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby. Arranged by Fritz Stanley for three-part chorus of female voices (SSA) in a cappella. The first line of each stanza contains the phrase "near the cross," emphasizing the value of Christ's redeeming work there. Each stanza has a slightly different aspect of the main theme. The first stanza describes redemption through Jesus' blood, and the second, the need of humanity for salvation. The third stanza is a prayer that the Christian would always remember God's love as shown on the cross, and the fourth looks forward to heaven. This hymn is best suited to Lent or Holy Week. This hymn is perfect for a contemporary or blended worship service.
