Since Christ my soul from sin set free

Since Christ my soul from sin set free

This life has been a joy to me;

And ’mid earth’s sorrows and its woe

’Tis joy my Jesus here to know.

O hallelujah

yes

’tis joy!

For it is Christ that I enjoy!

On land or sea

what matters where?

Where Jesus is

my joy is there.

The earth was once a bitter place

Till Jesus showed His smiling face;

Now joy’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 a mansion fair

Where Jesus is

my joy is there.
