Text: | O Paradise! O Paradise! |
Author: | Frederick William Faber |
Tune: | PARADISE |
Composer: | Joseph Barnby |
1 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 thro' and thro'
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? [Refrain]
3 O Paradise! O Paradise!
We long to sin no more;
We long to be as pure on earth
As on thy spotless shore. [Refrain]
4 O Paradise! O Paradise!
We shall not wait for long;
E'en now the loving ear may catch
Faint fragments of thy song. [Refrain]
5 Lord Jesus, King of Paradise,
O keep us in Thy love,
And guide us to that happy land
Of perfect rest above. [Refrain]
Amen.
