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.

   (chorus)
   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. 

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.

Where Jesus is, My Joy is There (Hymn 348)

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God. (Colossians 3:16)

Though my notes were ever so rude,
Thou wouldst not hear the less;
Because Thou knowest as they fall,
That love, sweet love, inspires them all.

Romans 8 :28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are a called according to His purpose.

Where Jesus is, My Joy is There (Hymn 348)
