Free to all--a healing stream--

Flows from Calvary's mountain.

Till my rap - tured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

Shed its beams around me.

With its shadow o'er me.

In the cross, in the cross,

Be my glory ever;

Till I reach the golden strand

Just beyond the river.

Be my glory ever;

Till my rap - tured soul shall find
