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.

Refrain

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.

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

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.
