| Tune: | [There is a place of quiet rest] |
| Composer: | Cleland B. McAfee, 1866-1944 |
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 Saviour 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)
