This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  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.

 

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,

   Sent from the heart of God,

Hold us, who wait before Thee,

   Near to the heart of God.

 

 2  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.

 

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,

   Sent from the heart of God,

Hold us, who wait before Thee,

   Near to the heart of God.

 

 3  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.

 

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,

   Sent from the heart of God,

Hold us, who wait before Thee,

   Near to the heart of God.
