Lyrics:
Paradise, my Paradise,
Most beautiful Paradise!
Once I walked beneath your trees,
Most beautiful Paradise.
Paradise, sweetest Paradise,
Most beautiful Paradise!
Now I sit outside your gates,
Weeping for the life I lost.
Paradise, my Paradise,
Most beautiful Paradise!
Once I heard the angel choirs,
Most beautiful Paradise.
Paradise, purest Paradise,
Most beautiful Paradise!
Pray unto my Maker now,
That He cast me not away.
Paradise, my Paradise,
Most beautiful Paradise!
Through repentance and through tears,
May I see your light again.
Paradise, my Paradise,
Most beautiful Paradise!
Once I walked beneath your trees,
Most beautiful Paradise.
Adam grieved for the life he lost because of his iniquity, but life was restored through the saving sacrifice of Christ. These words reflect back to those of St. Silouan the Athonite.
