Hymn 966
O Paradise! O Paradise!
Meter: C.M & Ref
Scripture: Phi 1:23
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
Where 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!
The world is growing old;
Who would not be at rest and free
Where love is never cold.
3
O Paradise! O Paradise!
I want to sin no more,
I want to be as pure on earth
As on thy spotless shore.
4
O Paradise. O Paradise,
I shall not wait for long;
E’en now the loving may catch
Faint fragments of Thy song,
5
Lord Jesus, King of Paradise,
O Keep me in Thy love,
And guide me to that happy land
Of perfect rest above.
