Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book ‎#561

561. 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;

Refrain:
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; [Refrain]

3 O Paradise, O Paradise,
I greatly long to see
The special place my dearest Lord
In love prepares for me; [Refrain]

4 Lord Jesus, King of Paradise,
Oh, keep me in Thy love,
And guide me to that happy land
Of perfect rest above, [Refrain]
