 All rapture  through  and through, In God's  most  holy  sight?

O Paradise! O Paradise! The world  is  growing  old; Who would  not  be  at  rest and  free Where love  is  never  cold?

O Paradise! O Paradise! Wherefore  doth  death delay, Bright death,  that  is  the welcome  dawn Of our  eternal  day.

O Paradise! O Paradise! 'Tis weary  waiting  here; I long  to  be  where  Jesus  is, To feel,  to  see  Him  near.

O Paradise! O Paradise! I want  to  sin  no  more; I want  to  be  as  pure  on earth As on  thy  spotless  shore

O Paradise! O Paradise! I greatly  long  to  see The special  place  my  dearest Lord Is destining  for  me.

O Paradise! O Paradise! I feel  'twill  not  be  long; Patience! I almost  think I  hear Faint fragments  of  thy song;

Where loyal  hearts,  and true, Stand ever  in  the  light, All rapture  through  and through, In God's  most  holy  sight.

—Father Faber.
