 1 

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.

 
 2 

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.

 

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.

 
 3 

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.

 

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.
