Nearer to the Heart of God

 

Cle­land B. Mc­A­fee, 1903.

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 Savior meet,
Near to the heart of God.

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.
