O Paradise! O Paradise!

Father Faber
From a Slovak Hymnal
Arr. by N. A. M.

Moderato

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 thro' and thro'
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!
'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 greatly long to see
The special place my dearest Lord
In love prepares for me;
