This is the title track of a record of the same name. Recorded by Joseph Spence and probably sung by Rosalie Roberts. The words are very difficult to hear and any help would be really appreciated. Thankyou for past help and for this new request. Best regards to you all.

Regards,

from memory on the first two verses..will get the others form a little book downstairs...(I learned it from the singing of Pop Stoneman)

"Once a sinner far from Jesus, I was perishing with cold,
But the blessed savior heard me when I cried.
And he threw his robe around me, and led me to to his home.
Now I'm living on the Hallelujah side."

cho:
Oh, glory be to Jesus, let the hallelujahs roll,
Help me to ring the savior's praises far and wide
I have opened up to glory all the windows of my soul,
Now I'm living on the Hallelujah side!"

"Not for all earth's gold and millions, would I leave this precious place,
'Though the temptor to persuade me often tried.
Now I'm safe in God's pavillion, happy in his love and grace,
And I'm living on the Hallelujah side."

and, if you go back one step in the WWW address, to http://church-of-the-holy-ghost.freeyellow.com/page5.html , there a very extensive list of Pentacostal hymns!....now, be warned, the did NOT display for me in Netscape..it loaded, but stayed blank. I did 'view source', and everything was there, so I opened it in Internet Explorer and it all worked fine. Some of the Pentacostal hymns are among the most rousing and 'singable' anywhere.

Bill thanks for all the help, went to eboy and downloaded identical words and midi tune it wasn't quite the one i wanted, but through Mudcat shop I have actually ordered the cd of the one i queried. I like the Hallelujah Side enough to learn and sing in the near future. So again many thanks

Thanks, everybody; I've been looking for "Hallelujah Side" for ages. My next step is to track down the Stoneman connection.

Ross,

In his notes to the Rounder album in which Stoneman's 'Hallelujah Side' was reissued, Tony Russell gave no indication of Stoneman's source and neither did Ivan Tribe in his 'The Stonemans'. Russell did note, however, that the same lineup of Stoneman's Dixie Mountaineers also recorded another hymn that was co-authored by Rev Johnson Oatman - 'When the Redeemed Are Gathering In' (which is also in the Pentecostal hymnal linked above by Bill). Russell also commented that the 'unwavering confidence in salvation is typical of this genre' and finds an echo in Stoneman's 'jaunty execution'. Sorry I can't be of more help is your quest for the connection.

I forgot to mention that a recording of Stoneman's 'When the Reedeemed Are Gathering In' is available on CD. This is a 1928 recording for Edison on which Stoneman is joined in the choruses by Bolen Frost. It is quite delightful. Ernest V. Stoneman 'Edison Recordings 1928' County CD-3510. The recording that I mentioned above was recorded earlier for Victor with the Dixie Mountaineers. I don't think his 'Hallelujah Side' made it to CD as yet.
