Near to the Heart of God

 D                  A7
There is a place of quiet rest,
                     D
Near to the heart of God;
                    A7
A place where sin cannot molest,
A7                   D
Near to the heart of God.


Chorus:

    G           D
O Jesus blest Redeemer,
A7                      D
Sent from the throne of God,
     G             D
Hold us who wait before Thee,
A7                   D
Near to the heart of God.


There is a place of comfort sweet,
A place where we our saviour meet,

There is a place of full release,
A place where all is joy and peace,
