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!
 
Oh, Hallelujah! I can sing!
Yes, I can let glad praises ring!
Where Jesus is, I can rejoice!
Where Jesus is, make joyful noise!

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.
