Jesus, Rose of Sharon

Jesus

Rose of Sha­ron

bloom with­in my heart;

Beauties of Thy truth and ho­li­ness im­part

That wher­e’er I go my life may shed abroad

Fragrance of the know­ledge of the love of God.

Jesus

bless­èd Je­sus

Rose of Sha­ron

Bloom in ra­di­ance

And in love with­in my heart.

Jesus

Rose of Sha­ron

sweet­er far to see

Than the fair­est flow­ers of earth could ev­er be

Fill my life com­plete­ly

add­ing more each day

Of Thy grace di­vine and pur­ity

I pray.

Jesus

Rose of Sha­ron

balm for ev­ery ill

May Thy ten­der mer­cy’s heal­ing pow­er dis­till

For af­flict­ed souls of wea­ry bur­dened men

Giving needy mor­tals health and hope again.

Jesus

Rose of Shar­on

bloom for­ev­er­more;

Be Thy glo­ry seen on earth from shore to shore

Till the na­tions own Thy sov­er­eign­ty com­plete

Lay their hon­ors down and wor­ship at Thy feet.
