Since Christ my soul from sin set free

I am really love this song and I was searching for for that hymn still I watched on you tube thank God

I really enjoy most of the songs. The instrument and lyrics uplift my soul when I feel lonely and bored.

Thank you so much for the inspiration and blessings it has been to me.

This hymn has always been an inspiration to me and it’s words and melody have never failed to bring me into the presence of the smiling face of Jesus.

I also appreciate and agree with Brother Steve Millers comments on the original use of the word heaven.

We are currently looking for assisted living for my aging parents whose health is failing. It is a difficult transition for them after living in their home for over 50 years. This song reminds me my joy and home is wherever Jesus is.

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.

Charles J. Butler (USA 1860)—Butler, a Methodist, speaks of a voyage he took from his home, Camden, New Jersey, as a bachelor, to Britain around 1894, stating he roamed around the British Isles for 14 months through Scotland, Ireland, Britain, and Paris, dealing with ship stewards, street urchins, and visiting famous sites. He wrote about his trip in 1901. He later resided in Philadelphia and was a salesman and musician. He wrote “Heart Melodies # 3” with Charles Bentley (1897). He is possibly the listed secretary of the YMCA in Philadelphia in 1920.

Butter also wrote this hymn “Since Christ My Soul from Sin Set Free” which was one of the hymns selected for the memorial of a dear servant of the Lord celebrated today in the church in Newinton, Connecticut (3-06-22).

Ricky was a crazy lover of the Lord, an exceptional family man and dedicated doctor. He will be missed. The other hymn selected in his memorial titled “A Celebration of Life, ” was “Sweet Hour of Prayer. ” By William W. Walford.

... Jesus showed His smiling face,

Now joy's begun within my soul!

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.

Lord, You are truly the Shepherd & Overseer of our souls. You are our joy!! No matter where we are - mountain tops or valleys. What a Christ we have!

I’ve been singing this the whole day and it drives away my depression. Praise the Lord Jesus. I love you!!!

Colossians 1:12 reveals that Christ is the alotted portion of the saints in the light. Hallelujah, He is our portion, our enjoyment! On land or sea, what matter where? Where Jesus is, my joy is there! Praise Him!
