1 Since Christ my soul from sin set free,
This life has been a joy to me;
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;
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,
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.
