1. O Paradise, O Paradise,
Who doth not crave for rest?
Who would not seek the happy land
Where they that loved are blest:

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,
We long to sin no more;
We long to be as pure on earth
As on thy spotless shore: 

4. O Paradise, O Paradise,
We shall not wait for long;
E'en now the loving ear may catch
Faint fragments of thy song:

5. Lord Jesus, King of Paradise,
O keep us in thy love,
And guide us to that happy land
Of perfect rest above:
