 ENGLISH LYRICS

You will know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ” Jn.8:32

1.  Since Christ my soul from sin set free
    This world has been a heav'n to me
    And mild 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

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

3. What matters where on earth we dwell?
    On mountain top, or in the dell?
    In cottage, or in mansion fair
    Where Jesus is, ˜tis heaven there.
Amen.
