The Paradise of Love

Verse 1

O Jesus, at thy feet we wait Till thou shalt bid us rise, Restored to our unsinning state, To love's sweet paradise.

Verse 2

Since thou wouldst have us free from sin, And pure as those above, Make haste to bring thy nature in, And perfect us in love.

Verse 3

The counsel of thy love fulfill, Come quickly, gracious Lord! Be it according to thy will, According to thy word.

Verse 4

Oh, that the perfect grace were given, The love diffused abroad! Oh, that our hearts were all a heaven, For ever filled with God!
