| And Jesus said to the thief, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” | a Hymn for my sermon - a Word from the Cross for penitent Sinners (Luke 23:43) |
O Paradise, O ParadiseO 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 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. Refrain O paradise! O paradise! I want to sin no more, I want to be as pure on earth as on thy spotless shore. Refrain O paradise! O paradise! 'Tis weary waiting here; I long to be where Jesus is, to feel, to see him near. Refrain O paradise! O paradise! I shall not wait for long; e'en now the loving ear may catch faint fragments of thy song. Refrain Lord Jesus, King of paradise, O keep me in thy love, and guide me to that happy land of perfect rest above. Refrain |
