Cleland McAfee was
living in Chicago wh en one day he received
word that his two nieces had both died
from diphtheria, and within twenty-four
hours of each other. He was a
Presbyterian minister, and the only
place where he could find solace from
his grief was in the verses found in the
book of the Psalms. As he meditated on
these verses he also wrote the words and
the tune to the hymn, “Near to
the Heart of God.” At the
funeral McAfee sang the hymn for the
first time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
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.
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.
