4 O Paradise, O Paradise,
I want to sin no more,

I want to be as pure on earth
As on thy spotless shore;
Where loyal hearts and true
Stand ever in the light,
All rapture through and through,
In God's most holy sight.

5 O Paradise, O Paradise,

I greatly long to see

The special place my dearest Lord
In love prepares for me;
Where loyal hearts and true
Stand ever in the light,
All rapture through and through,
In God's most holy sight.

6 Lord Jesu, King of Paradise,
O keep me in Thy love,
And guide me to that happy land
Of perfect rest above ;

Where loyal hearts and true

Stand ever in the light,

All rapture through and through,

In God's most holy sight.

Amen.

Frederick W. Faber, 1862.

OON and forever," such promise our trust,

616" SOON

Though ashes to ashes, and dust unto dust:

"Soon and forever," our union shall be

Made perfect, our glorious Redeemer, in Thee:

When the sins and the sorrows of time shall be o'er, Its pangs and its partings remembered no more, Where life cannot fail, and where death cannot sever, Christians with Christ shall be soon and forever."

2 "Soon and forever," the breaking of day

Shall drive all the night clouds of sorrow away: "Soon and forever," we'll see as we're seen,

And learn the deep meaning of things that have been:

When fightings without us, and fears from within,
Shall weary no more in the warfare of sin ;

Where fears, and where tears, and where death shall

be never,

Christians with Christ shall be " soon and forever."

3 "Soon and forever" the work shall be done;
The warfare accomplished, the victory won;
"Soon and forever" the soldier lays down
His sword for a harp, and his cross for a crown ;
Then droop not in sorrow, despond not in fear,
A glorious to-morrow is brightening and near;
When (blessed reward of each faithful endeavor)
Christians with Christ shall be "soon and forever."

J. B. S. Monsell, 1865.
