Lyrics

Verse 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.

Verse 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

O Jesus, blest Redeemer, Sent from the heart of God, Hold us, who wait before Thee, Near to the heart of God.

Verse 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

O Jesus, blest Redeemer, Sent from the heart of God, Hold us, who wait before Thee, Near to the heart of God.
