O PARADISE! O Paradise!

Who doth not crave for rest?

Who would not seek the happy land,
Where they that loved are blest?
REF. 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?-REF.

PARAD SE No. 2 P. M.

3 O Paradise! O Paradise!
"Tis weary waiting here;
We long to be where Jesus is,
To feel, to see Him near;-REF.

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

5 Lord Jesus, King of Paradise,
O, keep us in Thy love,
And guide us to that happy land
Of perfect rest above;-REF.

WAKE, awake! for night is flying;
The watchmen on the heights are crying,

Awake, Jerusalem, at last!
Midnight hears the welcome voices,
And at the thrilling cry rejoices:

Come forth, ye virgins, night is past!
The Bridegroom comes; awake!
Your lamps with gladness take;
Hallelujah!

And for His marriage feast prepare,
For ye must go to meet Him there.
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing
And all her heart with joy is springing,

She wakes, she rises from her gloom; For her Lord comes down all glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious, Her star is risen, her light is come!
