Charles F. Butler (1890) • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 11:21

Verse 1

Since Christ my soul from sin set free, This world has been a heaven to me; And ’mid earth’s sorrows and its woe, ’Tis heaven my Jesus here to know.

Chorus

O hallelujah! yes, ’tis heaven, ’Tis heaven to know my sin's forgiven; On land or sea, what matters where? Where Jesus is, ’tis heaven there.

Verse 2

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.

Chorus

O hallelujah! yes, ’tis heaven, ’Tis heaven to know my sin's forgiven; On land or sea, what matters where? Where Jesus is, ’tis heaven there.

Verse 3

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.

Chorus

O hallelujah! yes, ’tis heaven, ’Tis heaven to know my sin's forgiven; On land or sea, what matters where? Where Jesus is, ’tis heaven there.
