Author: C. F. Butler Appears in 117 hymnals First Line: Since Christ my soul from sin set free Refrain First Line: O hallelujah! Yes, 'tis heav'n Lyrics: 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 faroff place,
Till Jesus showed his smiling face;
Now it's begun within my soul,
'Twill last while endless ages roll. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
