Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross

This passionate yet tranquil setting gives the timeless Easter hymn a nocturnal sense, like a lullaby. A steady march-like figure supporting the melody prevents the song from moving too slow and feeling like a dirge. The song is amplified in the middle as the harmonies receive wider arpeggiations and ornamentations are added amongst the original melody. This rich arrangement will enlighten your audience and is perfect for any worship service.
