Jesus, Rose of Sharon
Jesus, Rose of Sharon, bloom within my heart;
Beauties of Thy truth and holiness impart,
That where ever I go my life may shed abroad
Fragrance of the knowledge of the love of God.
* * * * * * * * *
Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Rose of Sharon, 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, blessed Jesus, Rose of Sharon,
Rose of Sharon, Bloom in radiance
And in love within my heart.
* * * * * * * * *
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, blessed Jesus,
Rose of Sharon, Rose of Sharon,
Bloom in radiance
And in love within my heart.
* * * * * * * * *
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.
* * * * * * * * *
Jesus, blessed Jesus, Rose of Sharon,
Rose of Sharon, Bloom in radiance
And in love within my heart.
