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.

Refrain:
Jesus, Rose of Sharon, Bloom in radiance and in love within my heart.

Jesus, Rose of Sharon, sweeter far to see Than the fairest flow’rs 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 pow’r distil 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 sov’reignty complete, Lay their honors
down and worship at Thy feet.
