Since Christ my soul from sin set free,
This life has been a joy to me;
And 'mid earth's sorrows and its woe,
'Tis joy my Jesus here to know.
 
O hallelujah, yes, 'tis joy!
For it is Christ that I enjoy!
On land or sea, what matters where?
  Where Jesus is, my joy is there.
2
The earth was once a bitter place
Till Jesus showed His smiling face;
Now joy's begun within my soul,
'Twill last while endless ages roll.
3
What matters where on earth we dwell?
On mountain top, or in the dell,
In cottage, or a mansion fair,
Where Jesus is, my joy is there.

Since Christ my soul from sin set free,

This life has been a joy to me;

And ’mid earth’s sorrows and its woe,

’Tis joy my Jesus here to know.

Oh what matters where? Where Jesus is, my joy is there!

Revised version:

1. Christ Jesus makes my heart rejoice;

He makes me sing with ringing voice.

Where Jesus is, I can rejoice!

Where Jesus is, make joyful noise!

Chorus:

Oh, Hallelujah! I can sing!

Yes, I can let glad praises ring!

Where Jesus is, I can rejoice!

Where Jesus is, make joyful noise!

2. Once body, soul were burdened sore;

Now all is peace forevermore.

My sins were all by Him forgiv'n;

My troubles all were borne by Him.

3. Once I was blind, as darkest night;

Now I have sight, as noonday bright.

My straying feet He set aright;

Now He does lead on paths of light.

4. Once I was lonely, all alone;

Now Him as my Companion own.

Moment by moment He's with me,

Shows sympathy and cares for me.

5. His sweet love draws me on His way;

His full grace brings me to obey.

His loving heart's deliv'ring me;

His gracious hand's preserving me.

6. Oh, whom have I in heav'n but Him?

To whom belong on earth but Him?

His love eternally shall last!

My love for Him's not quickly past.
