Near to the Heart of God

Near to the Heart of God
Text written by Cleland B. McAfee (1866-1944)
Tune composed in 1901 by Cleland B. McAfee


V. 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.

Psalm 130:5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.

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

V. 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

V. 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
