Hymns of Faith ‎#366

366. 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.

Chorus:
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. (Chorus)

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. (Chorus)
