| Composer: | Henry Smart |
O Paradise, O Paradise,
Who doth not crave for rest?
Who would not seek the happy land
Where they that loved are blest;
O Paradise, O Paradise,
The world is growing old;
Who would not be at rest and free
Where love is never cold?
O Paradise, O Paradise,
We long to sin no more;
We long to be as pure on earth
As on thy spotless shore;
O Paradise, O Paradise,
We shall not wait for long;
E'en now the loving ear may catch
Faint fragments of thy song;
Lord Jesus, King of Paradise,
O keep us in Thy love,
And guide us 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.
Amen.
