Hymns for the Living Church ‎#342

342. There Is a Place of Quiet Rest

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)
