Lyrics Near To The Heart Of God/Sweet Hour Of Prayer - Sandi Patty

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.

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

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father′s throne,
Make all my wants and wishes known.

In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter's snare,
By Thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I′ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for Thee,
And wait for Thee, sweet hour of prayer!
