Near to the Heart of God

35 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]
