THE LIFE EVERLASTING
PARADISE No. 1 P. M

993

O Paradise! Paradise!
Who doth not crave for rest?
Who would not seek the happy land,
Where they that loved are blest?
Ref.
Where loyal hearts, and true,
Stand ever in the light,
All rapture, through and through,
In God's most holy sight.

2 Paradise! Paradise!
The world is growing old;
Who would not be at rest and free
Where love is never cold? —Ref.
 
3 Paradise! Paradise!
'Tis weary waiting here;
We long to be where Jesus is,
To feel, to see Him near;—Ref.
 
4 Paradise! Paradise*
We shall not wait for long;
E'en now the loving ear may catch
Faint fragments of thy song;—Ref.
 
5 Lord Jesus, King of Paradise,
0, keep us in Thy love,
And guide us to that happy land
Of perfect rest above;—Ref.
