"Having a desire to depart and be with 
Christ" - Phil. 1:23



1.  OH Paradise, Oh Paradise

     Who doth not crave for rest?

     Who would not seek the happy land 

     The mansion of the 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! 0 Paradise!

     The world is growing old

     Who would not be at rest and free 
 
     Where love is never cold.

Chorus:  Where loyal hearts...


3.  O Paradise! O Paradise! 

     The weary waiting here

     I long to be where Jesus is, 

     To feel, to see Him near.

Chorus:  Where loyal hearts...


4.  Oh Paradise, Oh Paradise, 

     I want to sin no more

     I want to be where Jesus is
   
     UponThy spotless shore.

Chorus:  Where loyal hearts...


5.  Oh Paradise, Oh Paradise,

    I shall not wait for long

    E‘en now the loving ear may catch 

    Faint fragments of thy song.

Chorus:  Where loyal hearts...


6.  Lord Jesus, King of Paradise 

     Oh keep me in Thy love

     and guide me to that happy land 

     Of perfect rest above.

Chorus:  Where loyal hearts and true

               Stand ever in the light All rapture

               through and through

               In God's most holy sight?  Amen
