There is a place of quiet rest
Near to the heart of God
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of GodChorus: O Jesus, blest Redeemer
Sent from the heart of God
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of GodThere is a place of comfort sweet,
Near to the heart of God,
A place where we our Saviour meet,
Near to the heart of God.Chorus: O Jesus, blest Redeemer
Sent from the heart of God
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of GodThere 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.Chorus: O Jesus, blest Redeemer
Sent from the heart of God
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God
