Music and words by Cleland B. McAfee
There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God;
A place where sin does not oppress,
Near to the heart of God.
O Jesus, blessed Redeemer
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us, who wait before You,
Near to the heart of God.
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.
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.
