Near To The Heart of God

Words and music by Cleland B.McAfee, 1866-1944

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.

(Chorus)
O Jesus, blest Redeemer
Sent from the heart of God
Hold us who wait before Thee
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. (Chorus)

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.(Chorus)

These words have been singing in my head. How precious the prayer that Jesus, as we wait for Him, would hold us near to the heart of God.
