Words by Fanny J. Crosby; Music by William H. Doane 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 ransomed soul shall find, Rest beyond the river. Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me; There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed His beams around me. [Refrain] Near the cross! O lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o'er me. [Refrain] Near the cross! I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever;
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.

Words by Fanny J. Crosby; Music by William H. Doane Pass me not, O gentle Savior Hear my humble cry While on others Thou art calling Do not pass me by Let me at Thy throne of mercy Find a sweet relief Kneeling there in deep contrition Help my unbelief Refrain: Savior, Savior Hear my humble cry While on others Thou art calling Do not pass me by Trusting only in Thy merit Would I seek Thy face Heal my wounded broken spirit Save me by Thy grace Thou the spring of all my comfort More than life to me Whom have I on earth beside Thee Whom in heav’n but Thee

Words by Fanny J. Crosby; Music by Phoebe Knapp Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine Oh what a foretaste of glory divine Heir of salvation, purchase of God Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood Refrain: This is my story, this is my song Praising my Savior all the day long This is my story, this is my song Praising my Savior all the day long Perfect submission, perfect delight Visions of rapture now burst on my sight Angels descending bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love Perfect submission, all is at rest I in my Savior am happy and blest Watching and waiting, looking above Filled with his goodness, lost in his love

about

This album features three songs written by Fanny Crosby, the most influential American hymn writer of the 19th century. Still sung by Christians around the world today, these hymns have pointed countless people to the saving work of Christ. We hope this will be a resource that can be used by the Church.

This album is a collaboration between Gateway Hymns and Wildflowers Girls Magazine, which features a biography of Fanny Crosby in the Summer 2019 issue.

“God has given me a wonderful work to do,… a work that has brought me untold blessing and great joy. When word is brought to me,… of some wandering soul being brought home through one of my hymns, my heart thrills with joy, and I give thanks to God…” -Fanny Jane Crosby

Thank you to all those who gave of their time, talents, and resources to create this project. In the words of Fanny Crosby, “To God be the Glory!”
