The Hallelujah Side

Once a sin­ner far from Je­sus

I was per­ish­ing with cold

But the bless­èd Sav­ior heard me when I cried;

Then He threw His robe around me

And He led me to His fold

And I’m liv­ing on the hal­le­lu­jah side.

Oh

glo­ry be to Je­sus

let the hal­le­lu­jahs roll;

Help me ring the Sav­ior’s prais­es far and wide

For I’ve op­ened up tow’rd Heav­en

All the win­dows of my soul

And I’m liv­ing on the hal­le­lujah side.

Tho’ the world may sweep around me

With her daz­zle and her dreams

Yet I en­vy not her va­ni­ties and pride

For my soul looks up to Heav­en

Where the gold­en sun­light gleams

And I’m liv­ing on the hal­le­lu­jah side.

Not for all earth’s gold­en mill­ions

Would I leave this pre­cious place

Tho’ the tempt­er to per­suade me oft has tried

For I’m safe in God’s pa­vil­ion

Happy in His love and grace

And I’m liv­ing on the hal­le­lu­jah side.

Here the sun is al­ways shin­ing

Here the sky is al­ways bright;

’Tis no place for gloomy Christ­ians to ab­ide

For my soul is filled with mu­sic

And my heart with great de­light

And I’m liv­ing on the hal­le­lujah side.

And up­on the streets of glo­ry

When we reach the oth­er shore

And have safe­ly crossed the Jor­dan’s roll­ing tide

You will find me shout­ing Glo­ry

Just out­side my man­sion door

Where I’m liv­ing on the hal­le­lu­jah side.
