The Hallelujah Side

Once a sinner far from Jesus

I was perishing with cold

But the blessèd Savior 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.

Oh

glory be to Jesus

let the hallelujahs roll;

Help me ring the Savior’s praises far and wide

For I’ve opened up tow’rd Hea-ven

All the windows of my soul

And I’m living on the hallelujah side.

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.

Not for all earth’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.

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.

And upon the streets 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

Where I’m living on the hallelujah side.
