1. Since Christ my soul from sin set free,
This world has been a heav’n to me;
And ‘mid earth’s sorrows and its woe,
‘Tis heav’n my Jesus here to know.
(Chorus) O hallelujah! Yes, ’tis heav’n,
‘Tis heav’n to know my sins forgiv’n;
On land or sea, what matters where!
Where Jesus is—’tis heaven there.
2. Once heaven seemed a far-off place,
Till Jesus showed His smiling face;
In cottage, or in mansions fair,
Where Jesus is, ’tis heaven there.
3. What matters where on earth we dwell?
On Mountain top, or in the dell?
In cottage, or mansions fair,
Where Jesus is, ’tis heaven there.
