Near to the Heart of God

1.  There is a place of quiet rest,
    Near to the heart of God,
    A place where sin cannot molest,
    Near to the heart of God.

Refrain:
    O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
    Sent from the heart of God,
    Hold us, who wait before Thee,
    Near to the heart of God.

2.  There is a place of comfort sweet,
    Near to the heart of God,
    A place where we our Savior meet,
    Near to the heart of God.
    (Refrain)

3.  There is a place of full release,
    Near to the heart of God,
    A place where all is joy and peace,
    Near to the heart of God.
    (Refrain)
