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.
