Where Jesus Is, ’Tis Heaven

lyricist: Charles Butler, 1898
Composer: James Black

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.

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 a man­sion fair

Where Je­sus is

’tis Heav­en there.
