“The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.” Psalms 145:18
I love the old hymns, for it was through their influence in my life that I found an anchor for my soul, and an intimacy with my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.
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.
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.
Refrain:
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 full release,
Near to the heart of God;
A place where all is joy and peace,
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.
Near to the Heart of God
Cleland B. McAfee, 1903
