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, through and through,
In God's most holy sight.

Where love is never cold? [Refrain]

We long to sin no more;

As on thy spotless shore: [Refrain]

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]
