| Text: | Near to the Heart of God |
| Author: | Cleland B. McAfee |
| Tune: | MCAFEE |
| Composer: | Cleland B. McAfee |
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]
