Hymn 260: O Paradise, O Paradise

Paradise! Paradise!

  1. O Paradise, O Paradise,
    Who doth not crave for rest,
    Who would not seek the happy land
    Where they that loved are blest?
    Where loyal hearts and true
    Stand ever in the light,
    All rapture through and through,
    In God's most holy sight.

  2. O Paradise, O Paradise,
    The world is growing old;
    Who would not be at rest and free
    Where love is never cold?
    Where loyal hearts, &c.

  3. O Paradise, O Paradise,
    'Tis weary waiting here;
    I long to be where Jesus is,
    To feel, to see Him near;
    Where loyal hearts, &c

  4. O Paradise, O Paradise,
    I want to sin no more,
    I want to be as pure on earth
    As on Thy spotless shore;
    Where loyal hearts. &c

  5. O Paradise, O Paradise,
    I greatly long to see
    The special place my dearest Lord
    In love prepares for me;
    Where loyal hearts, &c.

  6. Lord Jesus, King of Paradise,
    O keep me in Thy love,
    And guide me to that happy land
    Of perfect rest above;
    Where loyal hearts and true
    Stand ever in the light,
    All rapture through and through,
    In God's most holy sight. Amin.
