Introduction (Last two lines of “Near to the Heart of God”):
    F   Dm    Em  A     F   G     C
/ | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / There…
C          E7/B
There is a quiet place
Am           Gm
Far from the rapid pace
      F       A7/E   A7 Dm7      Em/G
Where God can soothe my troubled mind
Gm                C7
Sheltered by tree and flower
Fmaj7       Dm              Am
There in my quiet hour with Him
   Am6       E      Dm7  G
My cares are left behind
          C             F     Dm
    There is a place of quiet rest
    G                    C
    Near to the heart of God
                         F     Dm
    A place where sin cannot molest
    G                    C
    Near to the heart of God
      F              Dm  C
    O Jesus, blest Redeemer
    G             G7       C  C7
    Sent from the heart of God
         F      Dm     Em   A
    Hold us who wait before Thee
    F           G        C
    Near to the heart of God
Interlude: Quiet place (beginning to troubled mind)
C         E7/B      Am        Gm        F
/ / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
A7/E A7    Dm7       Em/G
/ /  / / | / / / / | / / / / |
          C             F       Dm
    There is a place of comfort sweet
    G                    C
    Near to the heart of God
                         F      Dm
    A place where we our Savior meet
    G                    C
    Near to the heart of God
C         E7/B
Whether a garden small
Am      Gm
Or on a mountain tall
    F                E   Am      C7
New strength and courage there I find
Am6            Fm
Then from this quiet place
Em       Gm       A7     Fm
I  go prepared to face a new day
                     Am
With love for all mankind
  Fm                           C
A new day with love for all mankind
