Text: | Since Christ my Soul from Sin Set Free (Where Jesus Is, 'Tis Heaven There) |
Author: | C. J. Butler |
Tune: | WHERE JESUS IS |
Composer: | James M. Black, 1856-1938 |
1 Since Christ my soul from sin set free,
This world has been a heaven to me;
And ’mid earth’s sorrows and its woe,
’Tis heaven my Jesus here to know.
Refrain:
O hallelujah! yes, ’tis heaven,
’Tis heaven to know my sin's forgiven;
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;
Now it’s begun within my soul,
’Twill last while endless ages roll. [Refrain]
3 What matters where on earth we dwell?
On mountain top, or in the dell,
In cottage, or a mansion fair,
Where Jesus is, ’tis heaven there. [Refrain]
