Christ Jesus makes my heart rejoice

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
