There is a quiet place, far from the rapid pace Where God can soothe my troubled mind Sheltered by tree and flower There in my quiet hour with Him, my cares are left behind There is a place a quite rest, near to the heart of God A place where sin cannot molest, near to the heart of God Oh! 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. Whether a garden small, or on a mountain tall New strength and courage there I find Then from this quiet place I go prepare to face A new day with love for all mankind
