Hymn 776
O Paradise! O Paradise!
- f O Paradise! O Paradise!
Who doth not crave for rest?
Who would not seek the happy land
Where they that loved are blest:
Where loyal hearts and true
Stand ever in the light,
All rapture through and through,
In God's most holy sight?
- f O Paradise! O Paradise!
p The worid is growing old;
Who would not be at rest and free
Where love is never cold.
- f O Paradise! O Paradise!
p I want to sin no more.
I want to be as pure on earth
As on thy spotless shore.
- f O Paradise! O Paradise!
I shall not wait for long
E'en now the loving ear may catch
Faint fragments of Thy song.
- f O Paradise! O Paradise!
O keep me in Thy love
And guide me to that happy land
Of perfect rest above.
Christly Living
