Hymn 157 - Where Jesus Is, ’Tis Heaven

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.

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.

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.
