O paradise! O paradise! Who doth not crave for rest? Who would not seek the happy land Where they that loved are blest. Refrain Where loyal hearts and true Stand ever in the light. All rapture through and through, In God's most holy sight? O paradise! O paradise! The world is growing old; Who would not be at rest and free Where love is never cold. Refrain O paradise! O paradise! 'Tis weary waiting here; I long to be where Jesus is, To feel, to see Him near. Refrain O paradise! O paradise! I want to sin no more, I want to be as pure on earth As on thy spotless shore. Refrain O paradise! O paradise! I greatly long to see The special place my dearest Lord In love prepares for me. Refrain Lord Jesu, King of paradise, O keep me in Thy love, And guide me to that happy land Of perfect rest above. Refrain
