Since Christ my soul from sin set free,
This world has been a heav'n to me;
Amid 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.

What matters where on earth we dwell?
On mountain top, or in the dell?
In cottage or in mansion fair?
Where Jesus is, 'tis heaven there.
