Near to the Heart of God
Words and Music by Cleland B. McAfee
Isaiah 40:11
"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm,
and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young."
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, blessed 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
O Jesus, blessed Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee,
Near to the heart of God.
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
O Jesus, blessed Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee,
Near to the heart of God.
