Hymn 392 THE HALLELUJAH Lyrics

1. Once a sinner far from Jesus, I was
perishing with cold, But the blessed
Saviour heard me when I cried;
Then He threw His robe around me, and
He led me to His fold,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side.

Chorus:
Oh glory be to Jesus, let the hallelujahs roll;
Help me ring the Saviour’s praises and far and wide,
For I’ve opened up tow ‘rd heaven all the windows of my soul,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side.

2. Tho’ the world may sweep around me
with her dazzle and her dreams,
Yet I envy not her vanities and pride,
For my soul looks up to heaven,
where the golden sunlight gleams,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side.

3. Not for all carth’s golden millions
would I leave this precious place,
Tho’ the tempter to persuade me oft has tried,
For I’m safe in God’s pavilion,
happy in His love and grace,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side

4. Here the sun is always shining,
here the sky is always bright,
‘Tis no place for gloomy Christians to abide,
For my soul is filled with music
and my heart with great delight,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side.

5. And upon the street of glory,
when we reach the other shore,
And have safely crossed the Jordan’s rolling tide,
You will find me shouting “Glory”
just outside my mansion door,
When I’m living on the hallelujah side.
