O PARADISE! O 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?

Chorus:
      When 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!
   Wherefore doth death delay?
   Bright death that is the welcome dawn
   Of our eternal day.
3. O Paradise! O Paradise!
   ‘Tis weary waiting here;
   I long to be where Jesus is,
   To feel, to see Him near.
4. O Paradise! O Paradise!
   I want to sin no more;
   I want to be as pure on earth,
   As on thy spotless shore.
5. O Paradise! O Paradise!
   I feel ’twill not be long;
   Patience; I almost think I hear
   Faint fragments of thy song.
