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: Oh, 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.
What matters where on earth we dwell? On mountaintop, or in the dell, In cottage, or a mansion fair, Where Jesus is, ’tis Heaven there.
